Q: There have been a number of questions about tax loss selling. I am concerned with the opposite. There are some stocks up 50-75-100% this year, and who people/organizations might want to sell early in the new year in order to postpone paying taxes for another year. Would it make sense to sell something like that, say PBH now, in anticipation of selling in the new year, and transfer the money to a company like CSU which hasn't really done much this year? PBH might be picked up again after selling is done, if it happens.

Q: Greetings 5i, I'm wondering what is so attractive about a company like PBH. I don't understand some of the more exotic metrics, but if I look at basics like net income, earnings per share, etc, PBH doesn't look to be building shareholder value as it gets bigger. Is the attraction a bet that they will eventually somehow wring more value out of their acquisitions through organic growth?

Q: I currently own LNR in a non-rrsp account for a 2% holding. I don't have any cash in this account to buy MG but do have cash in my RRSP account to buy MG for 2% weight. Would you recommend this or just buy more LNR to bring it up to 4% weight.

Q: Last July , you put together a report entitled " Report of Target Price Data" . The report listed stocks that were undervalued . Many were sadly beaten up , but two of the " Strong Buys" from the first 2 pages returned over 300% as of last Friday . I am certain most of the data is outdated and there would be new companies listed .
I am not sure what your source was for this report ... Was your submitting this a one time event ? Thanks for everything ... Tom
