Q: Hello, I'm looking to add a small position ($2k) to my TFSA. Risk tolerance is high and time horizon is minimum 4-5 years. Of the listed stocks, which do you think has better prospects of growth (i.e. still decent runway ahead)? Do you have a favourite from this list & is it a good time to buy or would you recommend waiting until the markets cools a bit?

Thanks!
