Q: The preferreds of various insurance companies are getting whacked with numerous issues hitting yearly lows on Friday, including some not connected with the Mosten lawsuit such as GWO.

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
