Q: Hi 5i team,
All these four stocks have come down in value to different degrees. Based on projected earning growth, balance sheets, and value, which two of the four above should have the strongest rebound next year? Which two will be your preference for a 2 year hold? Would now be a good time to pick up these stocks? Thanks.

Q: In an earlier answer you suggested that ryt might be more interesting than qqq, as it was an equal weight fund. I do notice, though that the top five holdings are quite different. But, that is beside the point--which is whether there would be n equal weight offering corresponding to voo? I searched but couldn't find any. Although i did come across the interestng information that Vanguard has switched its own employees pension funds ti vig, from voo.
Thanks and may you have the assorted blessings of the season

Q: We are opening a TFSA for our 20-year old daughter. She is in the middle of her post-secondary education and she will graduate without student loans, thanks to her RESP. We will transfer in-kind these two DRIP stocks that we have held in-trust for her: BMO and ENB.
Portfolio question: what should her next holdings be? Long-term growth stocks like TSGI, CSU, SIS, or rather an ETF to get some quick diversity, like VUN and XQQ.
Tax question: I assume I am having a 'deemed disposition' with CRA on the in-kind contribution, and it will be taxed in my hands, as the owner in-trust.
Thanks,
Rob. (2 credits).
