Q: I have held on to Cominar REIT and Northland Power for a year and a half and 2 years respectively on the theory that there is no point in realizing my loss and putting the money to work elsewhere unless the outlook for CUF and NPI is dim. Is my reasoning right, and if it is, is the outlook OK for those two? CUF, sadly is in a TFSA. I'm trying to wrap my head around "selling your losers" versus needlessly trading. Thank you so much for this service. I am really enjoying the education I am receiving thanks to you.

Q: Hi, Peter and Ryan.
I hold AAR.UN (PIRET) and noticed that they issued a press release concerning an acquisition (which appears sound) and then a trading halt was issued, and then trading resumed. There was a relatively large price drop for an otherwise relatively stable stock. Can you explain the reason for the trading halt and whether I should be concerned about this stock? My own speculation is that the company may issue units at a lower price to pay for the acquisition.

Q: I am in process of migrating to an index EFT based portfolio,starting with VUN which is VTI in C$. For an index this broad, is it possible to find things that don't correlate eg Perhaps VAW a broadly based materials index would do the job?
What is the usual length of time to consider the correlation to provide reliable portfolio performance protection?
I there a source of information on correlation coefficients For any 2 ETFs? It seems to be an attribute that is much talked about but not often reduced to numerical presentation.
Should we just rely on ETF suppliers statements of perf over various periods?
I think it is an important topic and look forward to your experienced advice.
Thanks for all your advice

Q: Hi 5i team
In my LIF acct I have 13% in cash and 13%fixed income ETF's and rest in equities. The cash and FI portion is enough for 5 years of my required payout. Should I have this much in cash or should some of it be at least in Fixed income? Also in my RRSP I have 10% cash and 18% Fixed Income ETF's the rest in equities. But I don't plan on taking monies out for 6 years. Should I be investing some of this in equities? Do I have too much in cash? I am 65.
Thanks for any advice you can give on this.

Q: Can you tell me anything about a us company Invensense INVN. A technology company for wearable applications. Would this be a company google would want to buy? Or does it have merit on its own? Comparing JDSU-- JDS Uniphase to INVN, which would you buy or would not buy at all. Thanks.
Q: Thanks Rod for your great tongue-in-cheek comments, which mirror my own investing journey closely. Your Traders Anonymous group will likely be small, however, since most of us don't see the foolishness of our hyperactive trading until we are "really old" (over 45 in your youthful estimation).
Q: Hi Peter, It seems to be getting more and more difficult to assign categories to stocks as some of them have attributes associated with different sectors in terms of interest-rate/business-cycle sensitivities. For example, DH has elements of Consumer, Financial and Technology in it and EH is half Financial now. My question is, how much connection, if any, would you accord to REITs and the consumer? REITs are not all equal, so please use Riocan (REI.UN) and CAP REIT (CAR.UN) as examples. Thanks as always. Henry
