Q: Hi, these are my two stocks that are down the most . I think I will keep GSY through this downturn as I have more confidence in it during rough times? Could you talk about TVE and reasons why I should keep it , sell to half position or just sell for tax loss. We seem to be swimming against the current with government and environmentalists with oil and gas companies. Is it worth keeping at least into the new year when these companies seem to do better?
Thanks

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
This stock has been like winning the lottery...it has risen about 50% since May. Needless to say it makes my day. So what do you think? Do you think that it has more room to run or should I cash in my winning ticket? Ha!Ha! Also if there is some kind of so called recession would it be seriously devalued.
Thank you for your opinion and insight...it is always a voice of reason! With respect...thanks again!

Q: Canadian telecom stocks have not been performing well recently.
1 ) Are Canadian telecoms strictly comparable to U.S. counterparts like VZ which has also not performed well but appears to trade more cheaply and with a higher dividend .
2) And if they are comparable , might that suggest that the Canadian companies could play catch-up to the downside ?
Thanks
