Q: Down 30% . Bought in September because of strong Real Estate market. Good financials of the company.
Reasons for market sell-off: My assumptions are that people are taking profits, some are selling into tax loss season and others over fear of the raging pandemic south of the border and what that might do to the US economy for the next year or so.
Finally there is perhaps, a few dollars of downside left to go including any chance for a Santa Clause rally before any chance of recovery.
What is your educated estimate of the situation and likely future scenario? Sorry for being long-winded. Stephen S

Q: Hi team,
Real has been a falling knife since the last earnings release. I own it in 2 different accounts and are down 20-30% on them.Should I continue to hold out for better days, or should I sell one of my positions and replace it with something else? My plan was to hold for long term as it seems like a good company with good growth prospects. If you do suggest selling part of my position , what would be your top stock to buy today either US or cnd for growth to replace it with ? Thanks
Shane

Q: Hi Peter, re: your reply to Jamie re: GUD; why will earnings fall next year ? Aren't they currently close to zero ? Shouldn't the new mfg ability increase earnings ?
This is currently the sole loser in my portfolio (as I'm getting good at cutting losses before they get worse) but like many I've held on it to doggedly for years despite its chart since I really want Jonathan G to do well. There's definitely a lesson in that. Thanks, Paul

Q: Hi Gents,

Wondering if you could speak to the value of GUD shares.
My calculations are that there is $3.31/sh in cash, which at Friday's price of $5.29, leaves $1.98 for the rest of company.
At $1.98 the company ex cash is worth about $260M. My modeling shows a forward P/E ex cash below 8x. Plus you get the potential of another game-changing acquisition which would likely be very accretive.

What am I missing here at $5.30/sh??
