Q: Not only are preferred share ETFs seeming to hold their stability well of late but they're outperforming just about any other ETF I own, be they Canadian dividends, US tech, or international. Obviously, there's a market reason for this. Would you know it and whether it's likely to continue?

Q: Hi

My partner has funds to invest in a TFSA for a 3–5+-year hold starting now. Can you please suggest several diversified ETFs that would be worth considering both USD and CAD hedged that are likely to see growth, including any mid-cap ETFs to consider. Please also suggest any bond ETFs to consider providing balance.

Thank you for the great service!

Q: Hello 5i
I currently own CSU LMN TOI SHOP VHI (which I consider tech'ish).
Do you see a compelling reason to add any of the other tech holding from the 5i balanced or growth portfolios? Would you avoid the concentration of the CSU family in favour of others?

Q: Hi Team,
I hold the following stocks in my TFSA with the indicating weightings within the TFSA. BN (17.5%), HPS.A (6.4%), LMN (18.6%), META (26.3%), SHOP (13.9%), TTD (16.9%). I am looking for advice for what stock I should add for my 2025 contribution. Could I please have your 3 "best" ideas to add to my TFSA ranked in order. I am looking for something solid with high potential (multi bagger potential) with solid management. Another NVDA would be nice (not asking to much here..lol). Time frame would be 10yrs plus ( I am 45 aiming for the dream of freedom 55).

Thanks,
Shane.

DIR and TELUS don’t seem to be doing much, while ZMI has US holdings, is steadily increasing in price with a good dividend.
This would be for a 5+ year period.. your thoughts please.
