Q: Good day 5i Team, I realize the focus is not on US stocks, but if you have an opinion, could you provide one on Solar City. I am looking to add a renewable energy stock to my Tfsa (Have BEP.UN in Rsp act). Solar City is near it's 52 week low. Also, what are the implications of holding US stocks inside a Tfsa?

Thank you for the great service
