Q: Is there a need to readjust these significant losers in a RRIF ?
My Tech is over 20% now (even with LSPD loss). If I were to "trim" the tech down would you keep LSPD and sell KXS and reinvest is something less volatile in a otherwise balanced RRIF ? maybe BCE, CNR, GSY, or FTS ?
Thanks as always, Peter

Q: Would it be correct to say GSY has marked to mkt. profit on AFRM up to Sep. 30? If so, then would they still have about $37. CDN on the balance of 368,000 if AFRM closed the year about $150.US for a total about $13,500,000. CDN?
Thanks

Q: Hi, I saw an article about Brookefield almost defaulting on one of their properties in Chicago..I dont see why they would let that happen? They are flushed with funds and have a very good credit rating. Do you know anymore about this story? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Looking for guidance on US holdings in a non registered account. My feeling from following your questions is that the US market would likely do well next year or 2 and that I should not invest 100% in Canada. Can you list 5 US securities that you see as good growth for next 2-3 years holding ?
Thanks for excellent guidance
Peter

Q: Hi, for an rrsp acct. who do like for 4years+ . I think maybe MFC and SLF would be similar, but not sure about BAMR? Would it be the better choice for growth? Dividend is always nice but not necessary.
Thanks

Q: Hello team,

I have to crystalize some losses to offset gains. I have a substantial position in ABCL (-56%) and BHC (-78%) and can sell either completely and be done with offsetting the gains. Do you suggest I do that or should I get rid of SDGR (-23%), BMBL (-38%) and PENN (-23%) as well ,if ABCL is worth holding onto, at least partially?

I know other than BHC, they all do have a good bounce potential after the tax-loss season is over. However, I also know that something like BMBL or even ABCL may be broken stories and may take a very long time to recover.

I appreciate it if you can share in which order you would sell and why (if you could kindly include the main reason for each).

Best!

Q: My question is about convertible debenture. What are they? What is the difference between a good one or a bad one? For instance, exchange income corp. Just put one out at 5.25%
Thx

Q: This is not a question. Just sharing. Was thinking that taking profits is hard because after you sell and the stock continues to go up you miss out on more profits.

But holding losers too long is even worse.

So how do you win?
