Q: Considering tax loss selling NFI and TCL (and possibly ALA) then waiting 30+ days to rebuy. Using TurboTax, the loss saves me 15%. Does your crystal ball foresee any quick rebound potential for these 3 stocks that would cause me to rethink this strategy? Thanks...Steve

Q: With the recent sell off, have any of the above stocks (contained in either the Income or Balanced Portfolios) reached the stage where you would call them "table-pounding buys"? In other words, has the market overreacted and the pendulum has swung too far?

Obviously, there is always the chance of a continued downdraft, but at some point you just step in top up your holdings.

The Income Portfolio is sitting on 10% cash...any thought to deploying some of it soon? Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan,

I was holding off buying MG and NFI because of NAFTA disagreements. Now that it is a done deal is it a good time to buy these stocks or future recession may have a bigger impact on the auto sector. They are trading close to 52 week low. Magna has dropped by almost $10 since July.
Appreciate your advice.

Thanks
Ninad

Q: Just a comment to add to your comments about NFI in a previous question.
While the 40 electric busses ordered by Montreal & Laval may not be significant as compared to the 4,000 they have sold in the last 12 months,
the more important thing is breaking into the Quebec market (probably the
2nd largest market in Canada next to Toronto/Ontario). Lets face it Quebec is notorious for paying whatever price to support Quebec companies. Should these buses perform well it could be very beneficial to NFI.
