The cumulative contribution room in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) rose to $81,500 in 2022. Investors can expect another solid increase in the coming year. In the meantime, it is worth targeting TSX stocks that are trading in discounted territory in this bear market. Today, I want to look at four of my favourites. Let’s jump in.
Here’s a discounted TSX stock worth snatching up in the middle of July
