As long as you are invested and stocks generates imcome . You will be fine. It is just paper loss at the moment. I have large margin as I move all GIC to margin acct.

It will depend on whether Trump survives his term. Lots of crazy people in the US.

If people knew that we'd all be millionaires.

Highest conviction stocks/riskier etfs should go into the TFSA since they will be completely tax free.
But you probably do not want just stocks/riskier etfs in your TFSA because you cannot claim a loss and you lose the room.
Any lower conviction risky stuff should be in the regular account so you can claim a loss if it dosen't work out.
Of course, your tax bracket should be considered also.

Ask Trump as it appears with today's "pause" announcement made 20 minutes after the markets soared "pre-announcement" that he is manipulating the markets and corruptly benefiting both himself and his cronies with insider trading.

I would invest on emerging markets like Europe, might be a good trade to buy Euros to as the US goes to depression, it will drag Canada with it unless Canada find other trading partners. I think Trump’s tariff will be a boom to the world but the US since a lot of them or offloading USD and owning precious metals instead.

Cash is all relative to where you are in life.
My wife is retired, and I am tapering out working 3 days a week on average.
Aim to be fully retired in a few more years.

Mid last Summer into October things were looking too good for too long to me.
I sold down equity positions, loaded up on bond funds, and kept some cash in non reg, tfsa and rrsp accounts equal to 2 years of core living expenses.

As present holdings spin dividends and income I reinvest to keep the bond and equity holdings in the ranges of holdings I am presently aiming at.

If I quit or get laid off if a recession bites hard we are not forced to sell anything for 2 years. We have a pretty hefty savings at the moment, so this cash level is not a huge loss of investing share
