Q: Hi Peter!
I'm looking to create a TFSA portfolio with an emphasis on growth. Given the smaller account size I'm looking to create a portfolio of 5 or 6 names. Can you provide some suggestions.

Q: I am looking for a stock to add to my TFSA realizing that if it goes bust there is no recourse vis-à-vis a tax loss or replacing the capital. I currently hold CUS & CFN and only have $7100.00 sitting in cash right now.
Q: Hi - my TFSA of $32,000 is currently invested as following:
CDH - 50% (recently come alive again; still a believer :-)
Front Street Growth Fund - 7.68% (tough 2 years for Lamarche)
MEI - 25% (good long-term potential - liking it)
CASH - 17% (where to go?)
The goal of my TFSA is aggressive high growth. I like MCR; AVO; BYD.UN and DHX for the cash. Any comments and suggestions to potentially restructure the portfolio and deploy the cash to achieve diversified aggressive growth are appreciated. thx!
