There’s no single winning strategy to finding what experts might call the best stocks to buy right now in Canada, because the most important considerations are your own goals and circumstances.
Our verdict on the best Canadian stocks is not personal financial advice; we have not considered your personal objectives and financial situation. Do your own research, and speak with an investment professional if in doubt.
Whether you care more about short-term capital gains or long-term dividend growth, it’s important to know what risk you’re comfortable with and whether a stock is performing well, making a profit, paying dividends or losing value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investments can increase and decrease in value.

"Beginners may benefit the most by investing in a handful of stocks of companies they know and whose products they are familiar with.
