Q: I own 2 small cap (110M and 12M market cap) stocks in my TFSA and RRSP accounts that have been dogs to say the least. I am down about $8000 total.
My question: I cannot claim the capital loss, so is it better to hold on and hope for the best, or just to sell and forget about them? They are currently worth around $1800.
Thanks

Can you comment on current holdings and suggest 2 or 3 additional stocks?

Q: I will probably be purchasing ZIN shortly. Regarding the quarterly dividend, does it matter when I buy ZIN? I know the Ex div date is Dec 27, so I need to buy it before that, so it settles prior to or on Dec 26. And theoretically in an efficient market, the price of ZIN will drop the amount of the dividend ($0.13) on that date. What's your experience...does the ETF share price drop actually resemble the dividend amount?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Understanding that nothing is ever a sure thing given that risk exists, at what price does CSU become too compelling to not buy if you don't currently have a position. It seems to have broken it's upward trend line which concerns me and I'm wondering if you can confirm that technical assumption and then give an opinion on whether or not to disregard and buy anyway.

Thanks!

Q: Hi, Besides profit taking, being a possibility after a nice run up, do you see any other reason for relentless selling seen in this great company for past 2/3 weeks. Now down to $1280 from the recent high of $1441. Even the valuation appears to have come to down a lot, to very reasonable level ? Thank You

Q: Hello again
We are hearing news that shop could be bought out. Is this real or just rumors?
How far do you think this stock can go for a long term hold. We are in very early, sold a little and are holding pure profit. Sure hope it stays a canadian company.
thanks as always
