Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,

My wife's TFSA consists of AP.UN, DH, and KBL. There's also a small amount of CDZ where accumulated cash is deposited. Both AP.UN and DH are enrolled in DRIP's. For this year's contribution, we are considering either CXI or DHX.B. Given that DHX Media pays a small dividend and has a DRIP that gives a 3% discount, but CXI 'might' have higher growth (with no dividend) which stock would you think would be the best for this year?

Q: BCE and BAM have been going up lately. I am up quite a bit on both. The PE of BCE is quite high. Do you think it is time to trim it and pick it up when it goes down or use the proceeds to buy Rogers? What would your view be on Brookfield Asset Management. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Team
Could you recommend two good growth companies, suitable to a TFSA, that will benefit from the weak loonie and a recovering U.S. economy.

Thank You

Q: Hi,
Just a question on Chesswood in light of the new CDN interest rate cuts-
Chesswood reports in CDN though it does much business in the US, and
it is interest rate sensitive, with a high dividend- with all of these now positive factors in mind, why is the stock still struggling? Seems like a no brainer purchase.
Thanks for your input.

Q: I have recently opened a TFSA for my girlfriend that I will be managing. I have it fully funded roughly $35,000 all in cash. I would like to build a high growth portfolio. We are in our mid 20's so risk and timeline are not an issue. Just wondering if you could give me a list of 5 names that you would start out with. Thanks

Q: Good Morning
Can you please tell me whether the following three securities are classified as foreign income and whether they have to be reported on Form T1135 ?

ALA.PR.U ENB.PR.U and 5.8% Brookfield Asset Management Bond maturing in 2017. The first two are preferred shares traded in the Toronto Stock Exchange in US dollars. The Brookfield bond is also in US dollars. All three securities are held in a US account with a Canadian Discount Broker in Ontario. The Discount broker reports the income of these securities annually on T3s and T5s.

If they are classified as foreign income, do we still have to report them on Form T1135, even if our foreign property was less than $100,000 in the preceding year?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: With the strength in the USD would it not be wiser to invest in mid/smaller cap US equities since they have less FX exposure. What do you think of VUS?
Thank-you.

Q: I know that you are favourable towards myt. But, would you consider it too risky to hold in a tfsa account, given that you would lose space and also could not claim a deduction if it lost value?
Thanks for the great service and congratulations on your award,Claire
