Q: Happy New Year 5i! My husband and I are going to put the full $5500. into each of our TFSA accounts. We are 67 and 69 years of age and fully retired. We still would like growth and income in these accounts as we hope that we won't have to touch these accounts for some years to come. What would you recommend for us? We are so appreciative of the excellent advice that you offer.

Q: Parkland Fuel (PKI). I am just starting to take "ownership" of my portfolio and I hardly have financial analyst skills. However, I noticed the following about Parkland:
- it is trading near its 52 week high
- it had over $200 million in intangibles on its balance sheet
- its P/E ratio seems high and the forward P/E is less
- its dividend exceeds its profit. I don't really understand the theory of ignoring non-cash expenses in determining an appropriate distribution amount, unless the actual requirement for repair/replacement is less than the recorded distribution.

Am I being too cautious?
