Q: I currently hold Maple Leaf Foods (MFI.CA) in my TFSA. It appears to be currently trading around its fair value (at least according to Morningstar). And MFI.CA just announced that it is reviewing its recent investments in plant based protein products (like veggie burgers). So it future growth prospects may be suspect.

I suspect it may be a good time to exit. Can you recommend another consumers staples stock for my TFSA as a long term hold?

Or maybe I should not have ANY exposure in the consumer staples sector in my TFSA given the slow growth and typically lower returns in the long run in this sector. Your thoughts please!

Q: Hi, We have 3 TFSA accounts, where we sold some SHOP, last year and made cash withdrawals. As a result, this year, we have available contribution room between $30-40k, in each account. We like to wait for an opportunity for a Growth stock to transfer from our Non Regd accounts ( there are separate accounts for each) for an in-kind contribution. Present allocation in the TFSA accounts is as follows.
CSU 25-30%
SHOP 35%
LSPD 30%
NVEI 10%

We are not worried about concentration, as TFSA funds are less than 5% of our Total Investment Portfolio, which is fairly diversified. Objective is to optimize Growth stocks in a TFSA setting. There is sufficient quantity in Non regd accounts, for all the five stocks listed in the question.

We were planning to add SHOP, with today's 10% decline and some TOI, as we have none in TFSA's.

What would be your recommendation ?

Thank You

Q: I keep hearing that a rise in interest risks adversely affects tech stocks. Understand that comment in the context of companies that are reliant upon financings but don’t understand it in the context of the FANG stocks which are cash rich and have significant pricing power. Please clarify.

Q: Hello Peter,

Could you please give me your opinion of the stock at current price levels? I have been holding on to it through the decline and am wondering if it should have a place in the risky portion of the portfolio? With the rotation out of growth providing opportunities at now lower valuations, where would you place OSTK in the spectrum?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: I want to transfer two stocks in kind (SVI and LSPD) to my TFSA. Combined they are more than my $6000.00 annual contribution limit. Presently I have spare cash in my TFSA. Can I take cash out of my TFSA to make up for the over contribution from the stock transfer, without any implication?

Q: After averaging down and waiting (far too long) I have entered break-even territory with this holding. There now appears to be significant momentum occurring. I am also quite overweight with this stock in a TFSA but would like to finally enjoy the benefits of price and dividend increases in the industry. Do you have any suggestions for swapping this holding for a more diversified security still expected to benefit by the uptick in energy stock values? I own no pipeline securities.
