Q: In my TFSA, I have a double position in BN, and full positions in POW, SIS, PPL, CSH.UN, TRI and BAM. I also have half positions in AFN (which I know is not your favourite) and DSG. Would you add to one/some of these (which?) or add something different. After my 2026 contribution, I will have enough cash to about a half position. I prefer to consider Canadian stocks for this account.

Thanks for you help.

Q: I have self directed RRSP. It is made up of equities and fixed income investments. I have investments in 16 companies of which 10 are in the Income Model Portfolio. My goal for this account is to have safe reliable dividends with moderate capital appreciation. For the past year I have invested all dividends in money market account. The money market account now makes up 8% of my account. I am 66 years old and do not need the dividend income currently but I will be using as part of my regular income in 2 to 4 years. I plan to buy 2 companies from money market account funds. Would you recommend CSH.UN as part of my portfolio?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,

Can a case be made to own both EXE and SIA in a RRIF? If only one could be owned, which one would you keep, and why?

Other holdings in the Healthcare Sector (across other accounts) include WELL, VHI, and XHC. CSH is also owned, but it’s in the Real Estate Sector.

As always, thanks for your valuable insight.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have a couple of questions about the noted companies - please deduct as you see fit.

I'm interested in dodging direct tariff risks, and it occurs to me that these two names fit that criterion because of their all Canadian business models. Do you think that conclusion is sensible?

Are there material differences between them leading to a clear favourite over the next 5 years? I note the SIA dividend is substantially larger than that of CSH, but would it be reasonable to assume this will be offset by greater share growth by CSH, over time?

And finally, would you consider one (or both) of them appropriate for a RRIF?

Thanks 5i - I look forward to your thoughts. Peter

Q: From recent articles I've read, It appears that sentiment in REITS is shifting from residential and industrial to retail and senior housing.
I currently hold CAR.UN and DIR.UN. I find this hard to believe but should I be considering a switch to REI.UN and CSH.UN or something else that you support?
