Q: I have a > 50% loss on NVO in an RSP, so I'm unable to harvest the tax loss. Do you feel I would break even faster if I, held, sold and bought a US dollar health ETF or LLY? I'm starting to think healthcare ETF, as if I pick the wrong horse, I can end up in the same situation again. What are your recommendations? Healthcare fits in best for my portfolio weightings.

Thanks

Q: I've held PFZ for a long time in my RRSP (now RRIF) and my US account. The 10-year return is low. Is there an ETF that could replace this security in my US account and RRIF?
I'd like to improve the return and understand if there are any negative tax impacts.
Thank you.
