Q: Hi Guys, as you said in your market update this downturn is a sharp correction. Would you be buying at this point or do you expect it to continue for a while yet and if so when do you think it would be wise to start buying, I'm going to start a TFSA investment account. Thanks, Nick

Q: Hello, we have cash funds to put to work in our TFSA. We already own AVO/E/Magna/CSU/AYA. Do you have one or two further recommendations, or would you suggest adding to any of the stocks already held? Thank you, Bill Y.

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: 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: 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

Q: I have been considering Enghouse (ESL) as I can now put some money in my TFSA. However, I noticed Descartes (DSG)and started comparing to ESL. I read your previous comments and they do not indicate any leaning to one or the other. The market caps are similar but ESL has a lower P/E. What is your opinion of these two? Thanks in advance.
