Q: Hi 5i:
I've been struggling with what to do about some questionable decisions I've made over the last year or so and would greatly appreciate your advice.
Since we began handling our family RSPs 2 years ago the overall value has increased 58% (not including contributions) which we're pleased with. But that gain could be much better if not severely weighed down by Corus (4.5 % of portfolio & down 46%); Firan (2.7% of portfolio & down 43%); Freshii (2.3% of portfolio & down 51%); Extendicare (2.4% of portfolio & down 27%) and, more recently Transcontinental (6% of portfolio and down 18%).
I look at these and don't know what to do - hold or sell - and that indecision is creeping into the rest of my decision making to the extent that I'm pretty much doing nothing but letting the whole shebang sit where it is, which I don't think is a good investment strategy.
We have 6 years until conversion to RRIFs.
Could you tell me what you think would be my best next step for each of those listed above. If sensible to sell any or all and put the proceeds somewhere more useful I will, but before I take that step (and that loss) I could sure use objective advice as to whether that's the right thing to do on a case by case basis.
Thanks - your thoughts will be much appreciated. And if your answer requires more than 1 credit that's completely understood.

Q: I was talking to my financial advisor about getting into a couple of high dividend securities north of 4% with some growth. They mentioned AW.UN, LIF, CGX, EXE. They said most of them have had a run except for the KEG and they said that one might be the better one. Which ones do you like of this group I have mentioned or are there any that you could recommend?
Thank you, Dennis

Q: After many years I am deciding whether to throw in the towel on Extendicare I know the stock has never been a 5i favourite
Demographics say this should be a growth stock but Extendicare has been a dog
Do you think there is any hope for this stock Should I wait until Extendicare reports In August

Could you suggest a replacement in the same space hopefully with a similar yield
Thank you

Q: Can you provide a list of companies that are significantly beaten down, oversold, ugly? I'm looking for ones with balance sheet assets, but it doesn't have to be perfect.

Q: I’m a little bit underwater in EXE, KMI and ALY and wondering what to do. I could keep on waiting patiently but the opportunity cost is bothering me. Should I buy more of each to lower my cost basis and then sell? I kind of think the first two were mistakes and of the three I was hoping to keep ALY, but I’d like to know what you think of the prospects for each one (maybe just a few quick thoughts). Thanks a lot.
