Q: There is only cash available in a LIRA, aka no cash in a non-registered account or TFSA.
At the same time, I would like to invest in three new positions - MG, TFII and WSP for a balanced portfolio. I have read in the past 5iR thought it preferable to hold MG in a non-registered account because of the cyclicality of the business but that if held in a registered account, then might want to trade around the cycles. I would like your take of holding these three companies in a LIRA that will start to be drawn down in about 2 years but will span, hopefully with good ageing, many years.....Thanks....Tom
