Q: Good morning
In keeping with the theme of fewer positions and more concentrated portfolios (higher weights and fewer names you have mentioned in the past).
Which 5 US stocks would you recommend for a US TFSA and for a US RRSP?
Would these be different since tax treatment for these portfolios are different?
Thanks
Victoria
