Q: I hate the idea of losing money in a TFSA for a number of reasons that are probably best dealt with in therapy. However, let’s say that we knew for a certainty that we were going to have a recession of unknown depth and duration starting in 2023. Come 2025 do you think you would have sooner held BCE, SLF, ENB, BAM.A, SMU.UN, and L (maybe 4% average yield with avg. PE in low 20’s) in a TFSA, or a 2 year GIC at 3%? Seems to me if a recession is deeper and longer than average I’m glad I had the GIC, if shallower and shorter, the equities?

Q: With respect to Canadian companies that pay their dividends in US$ ( for example AQN) do you think it is better to keep these shares in the US$ side of my RRSP or the CAN$ side of my RRSP.

I am just thinking in terms of exchange costs every time a dividend is paid.

When and if it came time to sell I could just swing the shares back to the Canadian side.

Thanks very much.

Q: This stock turned up on a analysts portfolio of 10 defensive stocks. The stocks performance over the past year looks good and although not at an all time high, appears to be at a 5 year high and pays a dividend as well. Your thoughts, please and do you have any other preferred US stocks in this sector. Could you also suggest one or two of your top CND natural gas picks.

Q: Hi, At times like these when positions at companies like Shop and Nvda are eroded..when does it make sense to add? Should one wait until the interest rate cycle is over and wait for the tides to turn? What indications should you look out for for growth stocks to rebound? Thanks. Shyam

Q: Hi 5I gang

I just want to confirm that thru this "risk on" period which will sustain for the foreseeable future, I am doing the correct thing by "holding" as opposed to "selling" these growth stocks.

With appreciation,

Q: Could you rate these 3 companies for me best first and which would be best to add at this time. I believe they have all moved up recently and am wondering if I have missed the boat. Do you have an alternate choice? Should I add one position or 2 half positions.

Thanks again for your support and wisdom.
