Q: Hello 5i Team,

As TFSA 'season' comes upon us in a few weeks, I'm wondering if an article discussing what should and should not be placed in a TFSA. My thinking is along the theme basis versus individual stocks. For example dividend paying energy stocks or industrial REITS, or consumer staples...

At this time of the year such advice would allow each of us to do some research into possible additions to the TFSA or increasing an existing stock.

Thanks,
Ronald
