Q: Happy New Year, Peter and staff!!
I am a relatively new subscriber to 5i but have been with Money saver for a long time (I love that magazine). And I really like this 5i service!
I look after the affairs of my mother who is 81, we have a bunch of GIC’s / bonds coming due in a non-registered account. The fixed income portion of her portfolio is about 50%. The rest is in dividend paying blue chips such as banks, telecom’s, insurance, energy. These have been held for quite a while and have been serving her very well.
I am looking at a few ETF’s for the income portion, I am interested in short term laddered government as well as corporate bond funds. Analyzing ETF screens, I have been looking at CLF, CBO, ZCS, VSC and ZCM. I am thinking of perhaps splitting her fixed income to 2 or 3 of these or similar accounts.
I would really appreciate your thoughts on these and other ETF’s that I should strongly consider.
Thank you, Dale

Q: 1) we should have 2 reports, income and growth with their individual ratings. (BEP.UN may be an A for income and C for growth). Then the members can decide which stocks to buy for their portfolios.
2) Can you suggest 4 growth stocks for our TFSA in January. 2 for regular growth and 2, 2 baggers. That would be wonderful.

Thank you for all your advice, keep up the EXCELLENT work and have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Q: For a TFSA of $35 000 with Amaya(AYA)representing 75% and CGI (GIB.A) 25%, where would you advise putting an additional contribution of $5 500 ? Both are good companies. Would adding to these companies make any sense, or is there enough there, and some diversification would be advisable ? What about putting this additional contribution in GIB.A ? Thank you kindly for your advice.
