Q: Hi 5I,
What are your thoughts on having "stop loss" parameters on our holdings. There has been a lot of chatter lately about this. We have a lot of gains on some of our holdings especially the growth part of our portfolio[ thanks to 5I] , and even our large caps , and TD e funds, are doing well. We've never used stop loss before . We're not sure how to do it . We monitor our holdings daily [except when we're away on vacation] and we're thinking of putting the parameter on a 10 or 20 % drop. Some fund managers admit that they have been stopped out and the holding continued to climb.
thanks for your insight

Q: For Paul and Scot on trading prices at CIBC. If you are already paying 6.95 a trade at CIBC, sometimes just a phone call to them and they will give you 'relationship' pricing on your total accounts. So as long as the accounts are linked, they will give you the 6.95 per trade on all your accounts. Worth a call.
Cheers

Cheers

Q: Hi Peter I know that you are not big on mutual funds in general. However, I've been looking at investing in the health care sector and came across CI's Global Health Sciences Corp Cl.
It shows 20% return average over 5 years with the past 2 years at 44 and 59%. Management fees are high at 5%. When the company publishes these figures, have the management fees already been taken off, or should they be subtracted to get actual returns. Would you also please comment on whether this fund is worth considering investing in. Thank you. Your information is always very helpful.
