Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I have $20,000 to top up my TFSA and wonder what would be best considering my above holdings. Should I add to any of the above or can you suggest any other stock or ETF that would be most suitable for growth and preservation. Your advice is most appreciated.

Q: Hi team

slf has reported decent earnings, but like other insurance co, has pulled back in price
recently, despite impending interest rates increase which will favor both banks and insurance companies , is there any fundamental reasons for the pull back in price?
is it a good chance to add on to the holdings with the aim of some income and slow appreciation of capital (medium to low risks)
thanks
Michael

Q: Good Morning
We have a approximately 10k that we would like to contribute to our Grand daughters RESP. We would like to do so with stocks and have about a 10 year window before the funds would be needed. Could you suggest 3 conservative stocks that would be appropriate for this type of account with one additional stock having a more aggressive approach?
Thks
Marcel

Q: About 5% of my portfolio is comprised of SLF and MFC, of which SLF is about 2/3s today. Another 10% of my portfolio is Cdn Banks.
After today's movement, what would you think of selling MFC and consolidating into SLF?
Also, given the inflation sirens, what would be a reasonable amount of bank holdings and insurance co holdings?

Thank You

Q: I have a cash account set up that I draw from when needed. I am looking for dividends, safety and a bit of growth. I have all of the above in nearly all the same amounts but would like to add one more. Ignore diversity as I have all that covered by other accounts.

Q: I have these holdings in a TFSA shown in descending %. First four at 15% each. Next three at 10% each. Adding $7000. Any additions to what I have? Any new ones? I appreciate the %'s are personal choices ( Part of let the winners run camp). Would you advise trimming?
Have good day. Thanks.

Q: This is a follow-up to our question from last week (see: https://www.5iresearch.ca/questions/140708).

Based on your response that nothing in the list gives you much cause for concern, we would understand this to imply none of the 30 stocks would be considered a "sell" today.

Please divide the 30 stocks into a pair of ranked (best to worst) lists, one of "buys" and the other of "holds". As well, for each of the "holds" indicate the principal rationale for caution.

Q: Hi,
If I already own SLF, would it be too much overlap to also buy some TSU? I know they are both insurance but somewhat different? If I wanted more growth, would I lean towards TSU and if I wanted less growth and more stability, lean towards SLF? How does the valuation and growth prospects compare to each other going forward? Thanks!
