I am 75 years old and have $30,000 DOLLARS of cash in both my TFSA and my wife's TFSA. Regardless of sector weighting how would you invest the funds. Great service you provide for both the educated and less educated investors.
Q: for my sons RESP can I get your opinion of the 3.25% 5 year GIC being offered by Home Capital? The amount is far below the $100,000 threshold.
Is a safe 3.25% a reasonable rate of return for an RESP that I need in 5 years time? Alternatively, would I be better to off with the investment strategy your team outlined which would have a higher potential yield but principle risk.

Costco has been taking a beating ever since Amazon announced its bid for Whole Foods Market (WFM) three days ago. At the time, it was selling at a premium but today it dropped well below its 200 MA. How much lower would it have to go before you would consider it an attractive buy?
Somehow, I don't see an Amazon-WFM tie up as being particularly threatening to Costco. I would appreciate you view on what the impact might be?

What would be your top 3 ideas from the US that would be good additions to your Balanced Equity portfolio?
