Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter,
I am down a little over 50% on Western Forest. It is in my TFSA account, so I will not get any benefit as a tax loss. I am willing to hold on to it if there's a reasonable chance that in a year or two the stock will start growing and a dividend will be re-instated. Would it be more prudent to sell the stock and take the loss and buy something else? And, do you have any suggestions for a replacement?

Q: I have decided to go with your recommendation and move a small portion of my portfolio to a robo-advisor. Few questions:

1. I have losses on PPL(37%) and TD (15%), Would you sell now and transfer the cash to or hold on to these until they recover?
2. I have narrowed down to two robo-advisors. Questtrade and Wealthsimple. Which one would you pick?

Thanks again for quick and helpful responses,

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.
I have held AYX for a while. I realized the software company booked revenue/profit ahead of earning after last ER. Since then the stock was down significant from all time high of $185. It is up today. I think I should sell it. I like to get your advice on this from a long term investment perspective.

Q: Thoughts about NTAR, does it have potential? I have watch this company know for a number of months and since the share offering they have gone down. It seems that they need a News announcement to get the price moving. I believe they were applying for a NASDAQ listing but haven’t heard anything recently. They do seem to be in a space that is up-and-coming. What ls your opinion?
