Q: I have substantial capital gains on both these securities in both my cash account and in my TFSA. I propose to make some transfers in kind from (in Dec.) and to (in Jan.) using the holdings in the cash account. I would like to sell some of one or the other of PKI or NFI from the cash account now and use those proceeds to buy the other in the cash account. The question is -- of these two, which do you think has the better prospects over the next 24 to 30 months? I appreciate that I'm dealing with different sectors and will keep my diversification in mind. Thanks for your thoughts, they always help. Bill

Q: Are you expecting a good Christmas for TOY ? Any insight as to new toys. I saw some weeks ago that some of their toys were voted by young participants as good ones.
Lack of Toys R Us in USA is a negative but Mom & Dad will find other avenues to purchase them. Deal with BABA must be a positive. I think it is looking good. Your thoughts please. I am considering increasing my holdings in TOY. RAK

Q: i am concerned about the above 2 stocks, they are thin traders especially covalon.
in covalons case you are the only one following it, so when markets sell off a lot of investors panic and head for the exits.
with goeasy it trades a little more on a daily basis but it has just been killed lately, even though it is up on the year and their earnings announcements surprise to the upside it has gotten slaughtered,maybe again small investors are heading for the exits with their 25 shares, i am being sarcastic but i think your membership moves markets especially in these 2 . can you comment. dave
