Q: SYZ continues to drop - is there something "wrong"? Is it time to bail (ie. "stop loss") and buy something whose stock is increasing such as SHOP? Selling low (SYZ) and buying high(SHOP)is often not a good strategy unless the low is going lower and the high is going higher. Your thoughts on doing this trade.

Q: I own both of these companies, through BMO INvestorLine. Keep getting messages to act upon something. I am of the opinion that failure to make an election will result in a cash payment under the arrangement to be paid in Canadian Funds (which I want). Timing 1 to 3 weeks for payment. Does this seem to be correct or do I really have to Make an election?
