Investment Q&A

Q: Hi team, I need to move some shares in-kind from a registered account to my TFSA, in which order would you move the above into the TFSA. Which ones have the greatest growth potential over the next 5 years. I have quite large capital gains in all of these stocks so I am trying to minimize capital gains as I transition these stocks over time into my TFSA
Thanks

Q: I transferred TFSA $25,000 Canadian to my US TFSA which I had never used. I received about $19,000 US. In my Canadian activity account it says transferred out $25,000. Do you know if we can transfer in and out between accounts as many times as we want and it is not considered
a withdrawal. You can’t get through to the CRA
ever so I am wondering if your team knows the answer. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
If I wanted to sell all of the holdings I have in my TFSA - would I be able to reinvest the accumulated amount available again at a later date.- I believe it is $ 75500.00 up to 2021. I have not invested using the 2021 amount yet - if that matters.
If you could give me an overall review of it or even a reference link - it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Due in no small part to the advice received from 5i, I find myself in the enviable position of having capital to deploy freely. For a TFSA, what would be 5 of your top growth picks today?
Thanks for all you do.

Q: I have held RCI.B in my TFSA for some time. There has been no growth but a small dividend. Should it be sold to make room for some growth in my TFSA or be patient? If your recommend sell RCI.B, please suggest a couple of high growth replacements. Would MG be a suitable replacement?

Q: Hi
I am up 122% with WELL (thank you), in my TFSA.
Thinking of selling half and leaving me with free shares and investing the cash into TOPICUS.
Make sense?
Thank you.
Mike

Q: Am setting up my TFSA ( 3% of total cash and RRSP portfolios ) along the lines of your growth portfolio. Which would be your 4 initial stocks, in order of preference? Thanks Derek

Q: Hi, just about to start investing in the market with my TFSA, Reading as much as I can. What 5-10 stocks would you suggest to Start my portfolio, looking for Growth and or Dividends. Thanks Shane

Q: I am looking to rebalance my non-registered portfolio, which will mean taking capital gains and transfer to my TFSA. Today, my position is about equal in RY, BMO and CNR.
I would like to reinvest the cash from these capital gains in Tech and Health sectors from 5i's balanced portfolio. I do not have either sector in my TFSA today.
Which of the 3 non-registered stocks would you suggest selling?
What would you recommend buying for TFSA?

Q: Hi 5i,
We have an opening in our TFSA for a growth stock. If you were to choose a stock today for 2021 which stock would you select in the US or CDN market? If we have it we will add to it, if not, we will purchase the stock.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am constructing $40K TFSA account. My time horizon is for 5+ years holding. Can you suggest diversified ETFs and Stocks (US and Canadian) that are a good buy at this time and a have potential to grow in the future.
Thanks,

Q: Andrew on Jan. 19 asked about over the counter stocks in a TFSA. I recently did this calling iTrade (1 1/2 hour wait time) about IFC being moved to the US side - IFCZ - otc (same company) and the broker said since it is a Canadian stock I could hold it in a TFSA and it would fine -- which I did do. Shortly will sell it and acquire US cash.

Q: Thanks 5i Team - what an excellent service!! May I have your comments on my TFSA strategy and an ETF recommendation. My TFSA is almost fully funded and divided into 3 notional "buckets". Roughly 1/3 is comprised of growth securities, selected from the 5i Growth Portfolio, with my current positions being KXS, XBC, WELL and LSPD; Roughly 1/3 is comprised of about 10 Canadian "dividend growers", about half of which are among the 5i Balanced Equity or Income Portfolios such as ENB, EIF, PBH, BIP.UN and BEP.UN and the other half well known blue-chips like T, CNR, CNQ and RY; and the final 1/3 is a single, conservative diversified ETF, currently Vanguard Conservative Portfolio VCNS, which I refer to as the "anchor". I prefer to limit the total number of securities to no more than about 20 (I am a few short of that right now) so I can adequately manage things, and I add to VCNS while awaiting opportunities to purchase positions in the other securities I own, or to sell from if cash is needed so I can continue to hold the individual growth and dividend securities. I am looking for reasonable growth in my TFSA over a 5-10 year period, and I can tolerate some risk but prefer to avoid excessive volatility or risk. My questions are: (1) are these 3 roughly 1/3 buckets a sensible approach for reasonable growth over a 5-10 year horizon or would you recommend different weightings or approaches, (2) could you recommend 1 other diversified ETF that I might consider for the "anchor" portion, and (3) could you recommend 2-3 other securities for the growth portion, to add a bit more diversification. Thanks very much.

Q: Hola Peter et al.

My daughter’s TFSA is a mix of growth and stable names. A year or so go I bought TCL.A, expecting a stable company with some growth...but it went the wrong way. Would it make sense to sell TCL and buy LNF or would that be switching one good but slow moving company for a second good but slow moving Co.?

The difference in sector is not relevant and obviously taxes are not a factor.
Many thanks. Robert

Q: Re Nizar's question about using USD as a deposit for TFSA. I did this last year. NEVER again. I use TD WebBroker. I had called for help and told the cash would be converted to Money market funds and deposited in the TFSA. Problem was the conversion was miscalculated and too large for annual deposit. Covid was happening at the time, and TD reduced Help line hours. I had to scramble to send CRA an explanation for the overpayment. It took many weeks calling the Help line before the extra cash was withdrawn.

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan and Team,

What US companies would you be putting new TSFA money into for 10 year hold? Assume a diversified portfolio and trying to get high growth for TSFAs.

Thank you,

Wes

Q: To contribute to TFSA Can we deposit us $ or have TD WATERHOUSE (IN MY CASE)
Convert after depositing in Canadian Dollars?
Other places have better rates than bank in Exchange.

Q: If you had to choose one of these for TFSA long term hold 5+years which would you choose and why? Does PLC have a chance of being like a boyd in their space? Thanks

Q: I am looking to "trim the fat" from my TFSA, which currently holds 20 stocks: ATD, BCE, BMO, BNS, CCO, CM, ENB, FFH, PDYPF, INO.UN, LAS, NXE, NWC, NA, NTR, PEY, PZA, MJJ, TRP, WELL. Are there any positions that raise red flags with you? In addition, could you suggest 3 or 4 value picks suitable for a long-term hold (20 years plus)?
Thank you!

Q: Looking for 3-5 socks to add to my TFSA, your suggestions?
