Q: Hello Team

My wife and I have approximately $ 50 000 cash in her TFSA account (shared money). With myself being a new investor and the authorized trader, I am looking for guidance in terms of what companies to invest in (Canadian stocks). How many companies would you include? How much to invest in each company? Also, would you kindly suggest a time frame to put the money to work . (ie) invest in one lump sump, over a period of four months, invest a portion and wait? Time frame as to when the money would be required is over 10 years.

On the flip side if I wanted to invest the same amount of money and use some of the profits to purchase a car, would you recommend the same companies or different ones?

All ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Hello. I am planning on investing in education for our first grandchild. As our children were near graduating high school when RESPs were introduced I am not well versed in the pros and cons. I was recently told that there is a lot more cost than allowable deductions on income tax.
Question: if the parents of our grandchild have lots of room in their TFSAs, would it make more sense to save for education using the TFSA instead of RESPs? The rationale is that it is non taxable when it taken out for education in the future as compared to taxable even though there is an initial 20% grant from the government with an RESP. And perhaps making RESP contributions at child's older age, a few years prior to university age. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan when buying a stock is there a general rule on where it's better to buy it, in an RRSP account or a TFSA and where would CAE fit in best. Thanks for all your insights.

Q: Since NTR pays a 3% dividend, for tax efficiency, is it better to hold the stock in a RSP or a TFSA?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I've never held an American company in my accounts and was thinking of adding either BA or LMT in either my TFSA or RRSP account. Which company would you suggest and which account would be better for it, oh and is there a good reason not to hold an American company in either of these account. Thanks for all you guys do.

Q: I am sure this question has been asked before. As a general rule of the thumb that stocks, and etfs should be held in various accounts.
Accounts:
CAD Cash
US Cash
RSP
TFSA

I think I know that US Dividend payers should be in RSP, Growth in TFSA, but do you have a high level how to best allocate various types of Stock assets for Cad, US, and International, along with sector allocation or divend?

Thanks.

Q: If you only had one choice between KXS and TOI which would you buy today and what would be the portfolio weighting?

Thanks

Peter

Q: Hello 5i,
As I approach 70 years of age I am trying to prepare for my impending RRSP - RRIF conversion. One move I am considering is to move VIG over a period of years from my RRSP to my TFSA. The rationale is that it is a relatively low dividend stock but the capital appreciation is huge - I am currently up about 76% - and this means the increase in VIG value affects my minimum withdrawal required each year while contributing relatively little in the way of dividend income to cover the mandated minimum withdrawals.
One note - for the past several years we have been taking our TFSA contributions from our RRSP's but seem to always end up with a tax refund anyway, so we are not so concerned with the tax issue on that front.
So, to the question (finally): do you see any problems at all in such a move for VIG or any other U.S. ETF or Global ETF? The withholding tax on U.S. holdings in the TFSA is not an issue. Any other comments or suggestions?
Many thanks!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: I have a TFSA with RBC and another with TD. If I switch the RBC to TD will RBC charge a fee for the change and if so how heavy a levy?
Are there any other consequences re such a change as far as the tax free nature of the investment is concerned?

Q: Can I buy XRP (Ripple) in my TFSA?

Q: In 2019, a TFSA account had the max contribution to date of 63,500. Then 20,000 was withdrawn later in 2019. No contributions were made in 2020,2021 which had 6000 limits. Would the max allowable contribution today be 32,000?

Q: Hi Team, is there any drawback in owning US stocks in a TFSA or RSSP account. Thanks
