Q: Hi 5i,
I have not done well in my TFSA (Other accounts doing well enough.)
I'm looking for stock(s) with good growth potential but low downside risk. I am comfort to not make great gains but don't want to keep losing in this account.
GUD seems the logical choice. Would you agree and are there other names that you would consider here even if growth potential is lower? Thank you for the great service.

Q: Hi
I need to get smarter about regulations. If I were to move $5.5k from a non- Registerred Account to a TFSA could I simply transfer shares? Or must I sell, raise cash, move cash, buy back in TFSA account?
Thx Frank

Q: RE the 30 day rule. If I sell a stock in my margin account, can I buy it back same day in my TFSA and still claim loss? If not can I purchase it in my TFSA first then sell it from my margin account? Thanks James

Q: Hi team,

I'm putting money towards my TFSA (10K) and was wondering what you think would be the best way to invest it. I was considering starting with 5 stocks: PBH, SIS, CSU, KXS, TOY. My second thought was choosing 2-3 of those stocks and adding in ETF's. Thirdly, I was thinking to invest investing fully into ETF's. I would say that I'm in between balanced and growth in terms of risk.

What are your thoughts? And if the ETF route, which would you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Q: TD allows you to have a TFSA in both Canadian and US dollars. If I hold a Canadian company that trades in the United States in the US TFSA is there a withholding tax on the dividend? Would it make a difference if the Canadian company pays the dividend in Canadian or US dollars. For example, Royal Bank pays in Canadian dollars but trades in New York and Bep.un also trades in New York but pays its dividend in US dollars.also, would you recommend holding Canadian companies in a US TFSA or should one strickly hold American companies.
Thank you.
