Q: Your are in a contest with "Joe" to pick the best 10 stock portfolio over the next 5 years. Best total return wins. Must have 2 Canadian stocks from each of these categories : technology, energy, consumer, industrial, and small cap (max $1 billion Cdn market cap to qualify as small cap). Since you are pros, Joe got to go first. He picked SHOP and CSU in tech, SU and TOU in energy, ATD.B and QSR in consumer, BN and WSP in industrial and WELL and CTS in small cap (he's a 5i reader, so he knew to pick several of your best ideas). What 10 stocks are you going to select to try to beat him?

Q: If you had to invest in just one of these two companies, which one would it be and why? Growth is the main objective here. This is for a TFSA account. Thank you
Q: Age 25. Recently deposited a large sum into a new TFSA. Looking to purchase VRGO and VFV. Is this a wise decision and how should they be purchased? Expand purchases over, say 1 year?
Q: I am trying to figure a way to get around the 30 day rule for selling a stock at a loss and rebuying it. I sold HBF to capture a capital loss. If I now buy HBFE before the 30 days, do I still get the capital loss? The two ETFs are identical, its just HBFE uses 25% leverage. I understand the increased risk.
Similarily there are ETFs now which have a .U after the symbol. The .U version is in USD. I suspect the CRA considers them the same and I would lose the capital loss if I sold the Cdn version and rebought the.U version. Please confirm.
