Q: I see these companies are mentioned in today's Globe as being in precarious position! Due to negative EBITDA.
These are some of your favourite sticks, no? I own GUD, BB and FM. Hence my nervousness! Plus I respect Norman Rothery.

Q: Moving your money from Regular acct to TFSAs

I am at a quandary as the market starts to lurge from the grave on a strategy moving capital from my regular account to my tfsa.

I'm letting my energy stocks ride ( i know i know, it's madness, but there's so little left there).

My real question is between my so so stocks which have regained and and are showing signs of going positive, down 30% to 3% and my winners in tech which some have done very well while some are plodding along. I'm thinking of moving one of more successful ones like SHOP AMZN ADBE or would GOOG MFST ( a recent buy) be a better choice.

I suppose the question I'm asking is more of a strategy first question rather than a specific stock. I feel no real need to buy something new, so is shifting one of my winners to the TFSA sound?

Any insight would be helpful. Deduct what is necessary.

Q: Thx for the quick response. Further to my question....do Why you agree w/ whoever downgraded SQ? What was the reason for the downgrade? And are you still confident in the upside of SHOP & SQ? If so, would you be a buyer today of both SHOP & SQ.
Thank you!

Q: Hi,

SHOP has held it's own very well wondering if it would be a good idea to reduce SHOP to small position from full position. And buy SIS, BNS, NFI or PBH..for safety and growth when the markets decide to rebound...Your thoughts and sage advice welcome.
Also I am surprised at SIS sharp drop for a small miss...Should I be taking advantage of this?

Thanks. Shyam

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,

We have a few dogs with the downturn but we also cashed in all of our high runners in early October. Your insight is invaluable in our portfolio management strategy and we understand the decision to buy or sell is in our control. On that note, we have been buyers the past two weeks when a stock drops 25%-40% (i.e. KXS today at $67.99). Can you comment on the following opportunities (BYD.UN, WSP, NFI, CCL.B, PBH, SHOP, ENHG) to purchase now with a 3-5 year hold inside RRSP's.
1. Please rank (based on your expertise) the above stocks from best to worst as of today to add to an RRSP.
2. Which of the above, if any, are considered "prime" to purchase today.

Thank you
Jerry and Debbie

Q: I currently have a full position in SHOP, with about a 20% loss. Would there be more or better potential to switch out of SHOP and invest in PHO or take a half position in both? I have a 6 to 8 year time horizon.
Thank you.
