Q: I took this morning's post-earnings weakness as a chance to purchase Telus, which has been on my "to buy" list for a while. There was a one-time contract issue affecting their profit this past quarter, but they seem on pace with respect to wireless subscriptions, low attrition rates, and dividend increase schedule. I purchased it in my RRSP for a 30+ year hold. Good move?

Q: Hi, Greenspace Brands seems to be receiving favourable coverage recently with several BNN guests liking it. The trend and tilt towards organic food is certainly growing specially the millenials and others with better affordability. What are the growth metrics for this company, acquisitions and organic? You had mentioned that stock is already expensive and there does n't seem to be much coverage among analysts, except one I noticed from Raymond James. company did a financing at $1.20 in December, 2016. Stock already trading at $1.67 and most gains made in last 2 weeks. Is it worth taking a small position, before it catches world's attention ? Premium Brands, also in food business, although not an identical co. but was n't discovered by retail investors when it was trading at a fraction of today's price just 3 years ago. Will appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: Hi,
I'm trying to shuffle a few things around between my margin, RSP, and TFSA accounts and simplify my portfolio. I'm assuming one would want to hold the highest growth stocks in the TFSA because there is no tax.
However, how do you distinguish what should go into which account? For example, among others, I'm holding a bunch of dividend stocks (BPY.UN, BPY, ZWU, VGH, VRE, PPL, AD) and growth stocks (ONEX, XSU, TNC, CXI, SJ) in my RSP. In my TFSA, I also have a mix of dividend and growth stocks, BIP.UN, ZWB, TECK.B, CGX, SHOP, GUD, CRH, HWO. Should I swap some of these stocks between my RSP and TFSA?

My TFSA and RSP are all maxed out and I have been buying a lot of dividend stocks in my margin account lately (CU, XEI, VDY, ENB, WSP, FTS, AQN, PWF, ENF) to take advantage of the dividend tax credit. Is it better to hold dividend growth stocks in your RSP or Margin accounts?

Any examples of what you would do or insight into this would be great! I'm 35 years old and time horizon is 10-20 years (would like an early retirement haha!)

Thanks!
