Q: Regarding Steve's question on Nov 25, 2025 about the TFSA withdrawal and re-contribution limit.

Using his example, if one were to withdraw $122,000 today, could one re-contribute $40,000 in '26 then $40,000 in '27 then $42,000 in '28 or does the re-contribution rule only apply to the following year and ONLY the following year?

Q: Dear 5i,

I have a diverse portfolio with stocks and ETFs. Most of my portfolio is doing well. Want to know your thoughts about a few of my holdings that are not doing so well - Adobe, Nike, Accenture, TMO, IDXX and Telus.

What are your thoughts? Should I replace these with a US ETF or hold on. Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Q: I own Canadian Utilities and Atco Class 1 shares and they have appreciated nicely over time. How would you rate their prospects for growth in share price for the next 5 years?

With today's economic climate with the US, and the Canadian government's stated intention to push for big Canadian infrastructure projects, would one of these companies be a stronger bet?

Do you see the current dividend level as being safe for both companies going forward?

And, is there a good reason to own both of these stocks, given that CU is a sub of Atco?

Thank you for you insight and have a great day!

Q: My account at the Financial Post got screwed up a couple weeks ago. They tell me all is resolved now.
I've looked for Peter's column and have not seen it recently. Is he still writing a by-weekly piece?

Q: Besides CNR, NWC, TIH, and BN, I'm looking for 5 other quality Canadian companies that have at least somewhat of a moat, and are resistant to AI and other types of disruptions to their businesses. I'm looking for companies that are not technology, banks, pipelines, materials or the other Brookfields. Can you please help? By the way, if you do not agree with the four I've listed, you can also let me know.

Q: Hi everyone at 5i thank you all for the great information love this service. So from an analytics point of view I am overweight tech and under weight industrials. Given the recent pull back is this a “good“ switch? This is in a registered account so no tax implications. I’m not that good at charts but it looks like there is some support at $500 for AXON? The other tech stocks I have are NVDA, SHOP, AAPL, CSU, LMN, TOI, of these CRWD is the worst performer only because of the date of acquiring it. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again for all your help.

Q: I am looking at fixed income potential across sectors as a low risk offset to my equities and would appreciate your recommendations. It doesn’t look like the space has good future prospects overall with rates having just dropped.
Of notable options, high interest saving accounts, bond funds, utilities, dividend index’s and perhaps reits, the reits and dividend indexes have superior yields.
Could you please comment on the space overall, which sectors are advisable and possible suggestions for purchase please?
