Q: Explain to me, when you tell a client to take a half of a position, how does that work? Say you want to invest $10,000 in a stock, do you buy $5000 say today and than what do you do? Buy the remainder when the stock goes down, or when the stock has gone up.
Thanks Again

Q: Many updates since the last review of this company. With new shares being issued at $4.75 I would hope this provides a level of support, but not sure I should be holding hoping to see results vs selling now after a nice run and waiting for the results first and then reinvesting.

Q: Ignoring portfolio weightings, Can you give some advice on when to sell your winners? For example MFC has had a nice run. It seems fully valued. I am an income investor and am consider shifting to SLF for no other reason than the pick up in yield. There are other ‘winners’ I have that appear to be fully valued and I could shift elsewhere to boost income. What are the right things to consider re timing on when to sell?

But, it is bought in Canadian dollars. I didn't mention it but I was looking for one that could be bought and sold in US dollars. Is there something from Horizon that can do that? Or, from another company?
thanks for the great service
