Q: Good Evening
My analysis of the information provided by my broker indicates that the insiders own approximately 34% of the common shares and the CEO about 24% of the outstanding shares. Are these figures correct? In addition, they are now buying their own stock.
I hesitate to sell because of the above noted information although I am down 14% in a non-registered account.
Do you advise holding, averaging down or selling XTC?
As always I appreciate your comments.

Q: 3 stocks you are very familiar with - COV this week went from 5.5 to 8 and back to 5.5. Is this computerized selling? The other two PEO and PHO are down considerably from their highs of all not that long ago. Do you see better days ahead for all of these stocks? They are in your portfolio so I imagine they should come around. Your opinion. Thanks for the service. Dennis

Q: Further to Lance's fine suggestion of using CanadaHelps for excess gains I can add TD's Private Giving Foundation as an alternative I've used since 2007. A twist is that contributions are endowed over a period, usually 10 years, with annual disbursements to chosen charities. Undistributed amounts are invested in TD's conservative mutual funds so some growth can be expected and a legacy is established. You get to name it whatever you wish eg: The Jones Family Foundation. Minimum $10,000. Details:
