Q: Hi Team:
I enjoy reviewing the portfolio analysis. Of course there are always concerns with data interpretation. I am slightly over weighted in DS (5.5%) and FFN ( only 1.8%), 2 companies that I now understand pay some of their dividends with 'Return of Capital'. Returns to date are; DS in RIF (-16%) + TFSA's (-13%, -19%) + RESP (-12%). FFN is in TFSA's (-29%, -30%) + RESP (-30%). Overall now big losers but still paying dividends (DS yield @ 10.15%; FFN yield @ 18.99%) except at the rock bottom time frame of December 2018. So, I want to sell. When do you suggest I take the hit? Do I sell all at the same time? Do I keep some portions? Of course some magical suggestions to make up the loss, especially in the RESP. Overall I am still at a positives in all accounts, so I have not made all bad choices but these are dragging me down and I am tired of seeing the red return. Thanks Ken ..... :-)

Q: I invested in Blackstone in early 2018. It's had a fairly good run up since then. At the time it seemed to have a bright future, offered a reasonable dividend, and provided diversification through their investments in private equity which I had no exposure to.
How do you feel about it now? Worth holding onto for the same reasons?

Q: As with most retail companies ATZ took a pretty good hit after the China tariffs were announced and has been plummeting ever since (except the past couple of days). Do you think these tariffs are now fully priced into ATZ or do you think there will be another hit to earnings when the next quarterly report comes out? Is ATZ good enough to overcome this risk?
