Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I/we have held XEI for some years across 2 TFSA accounts and 2 RRIF accounts (a holdover from a past full service investment service at a major bank). Based on original costs we are down 16.65%. This fund has performed badly this year despite some market recovery. I am considering selling a good part of these positions to purchase individual Canadian dividend paying stocks, growth stocks or other ETFs even though we can't realize any tax losses here. Is taking this loss a good idea? Should we hang on? Ideas and comments please. The good news is that, at the same time, we established positions in XSP and IVV which have done well. We are mid stage retirees with good cash flow and aiming to leave a nice legacy for family.

Q: In the answer you gave a member today about SHOP, you say: "Growth is solid, for sure, and it has done most things right, but many investors will balk at paying 35X sales for a stock.” In the company profile of SHOP, we see a Price to Sales of 66.28 (as of today). Are you referring to the same ratio? If yes, which of 35 or 66 is the correct number? Thanks, Gervais
