Q: I have taken significant losses on a Magna holding over the years - it vulnerability is unfortunate as it has been a historically successful company and model even when the sector wasn’t.
Do you think it is worth continuing to hold and is it an appropriate time for tax loss harvesting?

Q: Hello. I work abroad and get paid in USD. I send regular transfers to my Cad dollar trading platform but also have a USD trading platform. In your opinion (not advice) would it be smarter to keep exchanging my USD for cheap CAD dollars for canadian stocks with the expectation that the CAD will eventually rise, or to move directly into my usd acccount for trading in us stocks? or a split? Thank you for your service.
