Q: Hi. I currently hold a 5% weighting in each of the above companies. I would like to reduce my exposure in this sector to 10%. Which would you think best to unload... or would you suggest reducing bits of each.

Thanks in advance.

Q: I wanted to add a comment to a question asked recently about Global Water Resources. The fall in the stock price is almost entirely related to the Cdn/US$ exchange rate as the main listing is now on the NASDX, and the US listing trading closer to 52 week highs. With the low liquidity on the TSX, the company may chose to get rid of the Canadian listing and stick with the NASDX which has better daily volume.

Q: The 8% gain of the Cdn dollar over the past few weeks could have a huge impact on stocks like NFI and others in a negative way.
With the Cdn dollar on a terror lately what sectors if any would stand to gain from this currency move and what would be two individual stocks that you think could gain by the US/Cdn exchange rate moving closer to par.
Always appreciate your perspective.
Thank you
Terry

I've held these for a number of years now with no turn a round in site.[I manage her acc.] Do I finally dump these now, or continue to hold for the dividends.

The RIFT is primarily made up income stocks and other wise, doing fairly well.

Your thoughts and/or replacements please.

Q: I am trying to make a plan for what I will specifically do when the next correction comes. I am making a list of stocks that I will buy. I have set aside some cash. My plan is to spend 25% of my cash at each 5% downturn interval. So when the market corrects 5% I will spend 25%. If the market corrects another 5% I will spend another 25%. My plan is too keep going until I run out of cash. When I do run out of cash (when the market is down 20%) I would tap into a line of credit using the same strategy.

What do you think of this plan? Is it a good way to manage a correction? If not, can you suggest a better way? Thank you.
