Q: Regarding my family RESP I set up for my two kids, it will start to be used next year and they will be in school for six years. I was thinking of moving a portion into CDZ for the next few years because I consider it more stable than keeping it in the single stocks that it's currently in. Do you agree or have a different ETF or a few you could recommend?

Q: Hi,
Seems Anthropic is causing quite a few disruptions lately and today their COBOL tool has hit IBM and others. Do you see any reason to wait it out and hold if this could be used as a tax loss in a cash account? I am also concerned about yet another fairly large drop in the price on WSP. Is there any further news regarding it today? Unfortunately I hold that in a RSP account, so am not sure whether to sell or hold, and would welcome your thoughts on this as well. Many thanks for your continued good advice - it is always appreciated!

Q: Some of the metrics look good, but PE 157 scares me.
On previous occasion, refering to BN, you stated that their high PE is due to a peculiar accounting..
Would you say that's the case here too?

Q: Hi 5i
I've taken quite a beating on LMN in a registered account - down approximately 60% on the $25K flyer I took on it back when it traded in the $50 range.
I can afford to carry it awaiting a recovery, but I also think if a recovery is not imminent, I would like to take my losses and put what remains of the 25K to work elsewhere - perhaps in CNQ, TVE or WCP where capital appreciation and income are both realistic over the next couple of years.
What do you think - and if the premise is good but you have better ideas that CNQ, TVE or WCP please advise.
Thanks, 5i,
Peter
