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!

Q: Right now I have Rogers and TD Bank for my TFSA. Trying to figure out high safe paying yields of good companies. Any suggestions. Plus where can I see a list of these types of yields. Is there a website with a list of them. Thanks so much for helping me figure out my TFSA challenge.

Q: Peter, regarding TFSA holdings, I am unhappy with the performance and looking for suggestions. This TFSA is maxed out for contributions. Total value is only $34, 932. The holdings are ax.un (26%), zwb (9%), BCE (40% ) and Rei.un (7%). The remainder, almost 18% is cash. The yields on ACB are as follows: artis..9%, zwb... 5.4%, BCE..5.9%, and Riocan is 6.9%.

I would appreciate your suggestions for restructuring this portfolio. I am looking for some solid growth.

Q: My son, a 3rd year PHD student, has approximately $5,000 to open up a TFSA. He is planning to invest the money in 1 or 2 ETFs. Is it a good strategy? Alternatively, please recommend 1 or 2 stocks for his portfolio. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team,
Is there any tax issue or other negative factor which should be considered with holding US dividend paying stocks in a TFSA. Thank you. Linda
