Q: Good morning guys:
Just like every other investor my stocks in my tfsa are down big time. I have not sold anything as of yet and bought Boyd and MasterCard for my cash account with the recent dip . I know investors should stay the course and not sell quality companies , but just like 2008 it took a long time to get our money back that was lost . That being said is it a better move to sell all my stocks in my tfsa and take the loss . I take the remaining funds and buy quality companies that have been hit big time like a Disney , mastercard , visa , Boyd for example . I presently own 10 stocks in my tfsa and they are all equal weightings. Could you please elaborate what an investor should do in this situation
Thank you for great work .

Q: What is your take on NWC selling some of it's Giant Tiger Stores back to GT. I know they had some operational issues with these stores.

Thanks

Q: Currently hold both (1.5% position) and down a lot despite having good management teams. Thinking of selling for a tax loss as I have some gains taken earlier this year pushed forward from last year. Outlook for both in this depressed market with prospect of $20 oil and whether they can weather their debt levels. Buy, hold or sell?

Q: I am surprised that the CBO etf is down almost 8% over the past few weeks. With rates decreasing I would have thought the fund would hold up better. Is the eft down as a result of credit/default risk? Is this fear justified? Are the holding of high quality or risky? Thanks for your insight.

Q: ETFs
- is it correct that net asset value is determined once daily based on the closing price for the day?
- if correct, shouldn't the trading price reflect changes during the day, disregarding the NAV at close of the previous day?
- if the trading price doesn't reflect changes during the day, I suppose, in the case of a big change in underlying securities during the day, one should postpone a trade decision until the NAV for the previous day is published
- when will the NAV for the previous day appear in the quotation services? By open of trading on the following day?

Q: I am down 60% on Rubicon, in this environment is there any chance that they would go out of business.

Q: With governments pouring money into businesses, dropping interest rates, Retirees and individual investors getting killed,(mostly by computers and algorithms) everything shutting down why don't they shut down the markets worldwide to stop the insanity and panic? This may seem simplistic but we make rules to protect ourselves in the mortgage market, we need to protect our companies and ourselves from sheer panic.
