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?
