Q: What a remarkable market. GOOG has been my largest holding. I have a significant loss and am looking to take a tax loss. First, with a FOMO fear that it might bounce, I am thinking of selling 1/2 my position; if you were me, would you simply sell 100%? Second, would Apple be a suitable substitute? For 30 days or long term? Thanks much.

Q: I have sat on my hands, during the past year and stayed the course, not selling anything, waiting for the turn to see what recovers. But, after your answer to Marty today, I wonder if I should be selling Lightspeed and adding the funds to Shopify. Thoughts?

Q: Hi, can you explain what is going on at CPRT. It appears they did a 2 for 1 split this morning but there was no warning of this to my knowledge and we were not asked to vote on it. Also why does it show that the share count went up by 4X while the share price was cut in half (as you would expect in a 2 for 1 split). The 4X shares makes no sense to me. Why would they do a surprise split now?

Q: I'm interested in taking a position in BX. I prefer do it in my TFSA, or I could do it in my Margin if necessary - what do you suggest? Also back in Sept. you recommended it at $78-79 entry point. Would you still recommend it at that price or do you feel I should wait for a lower entry point? Do you still like this company for a long term hold? Thank you.

Q: I've been building out a sub portfolio in my registered account with the above stocks. It's hard to turn down 5-7% yields + growth potential.

Do you perceive any major crossover/risk with the holding all of the above / should I consider consolidating?

Q: We own 10 preferred shares with BCE,BRF,BPO,NPI,PWF,ENB,CU. Overall we are down considerably on capital loss. But making a good return at these current prices. Question to you is, should we keep preferred shares for the current return or take a loss and sell them. Most are in registered accounts so no tax loss is available.

Q: I have cash in my US$ RRSP and would like to park it in a ETF like HSAV but I don't want to be clipped by TD if I move the cash to my CDN$ RRSP account. I noticed HYGH.US in your ETF model portfolio but it is not like HSAV. Any suggestions would be greatly welcome or if HYGH is the best then please advise. Thanks again.
