Q: Hi 5i,
I am looking for your advice on what to buy for a new TFSA (full $63,500 deposit) at this time. The funds in this account will be required in the next 3 to 5 years. Income and growth are the objectives, within the requirement to preserve capital. Would you allocate your recommendations equally or ? Thanks!

Can you please comment on each of these, quality of the companies, management, safety of the dividend etc. Feel free to suggest other names not listed Canadian or US. Dividend payers preferred.

Q: Hello and thank you. I’d like to add some exposure to video gaming in my portfolio. Would you have any concerns starting a new 5% position in GAMR at this point for a 10 plus year hold? This would keep my tech targets within limits I’m comfortable with.

Q: What is your view of this company currently? I know they miss their numbers at least half the time should we be expecting this again today after they report? I currently have 1000 shares and I am down about 35% would you average down? I like the dividend and this holding sits in an RRSP account with a long time horizon. Thanks as always.

Q: This name had a run up to about $107 (when I bought) and has since pulled back. They announce earnings next week. Any idea why it’s down other than general market issues? It makes me concerned that it’s going down so much prior to earnings release. Should I sell or hold? It’s in my rrsp so should be long term but I have an aversion to holding a losing position and don’t know what to do. Thanks.
