Q: Hi,

CIX has managed to get to $15-ish. My breakeven is $20. I feel that getting to $15 was a miracle and that $20 won't happen.

From a trader's perspective, should one take the loss and rebuild ?

From your broad perspective, should keep the faith and hang in there? You know...generally speaking for this stock? I noticed that 5i dropped Fiera. Maybe CIX is in the same situation?

Q: you recently answered question re XIC vs CDZ like this:
we would prefer XIC as it has a lower MER at 0.06%, vs. CDZ at 0.66%

I've gone with CDZ in the past because of its lower holdings in financials. Does XiC's lower MER make up for the higher allocation?
