Q: hi folks:

earlier today sorin asked for 10 "keeper stocks"

i would assume that to mean ones to hold for 5 yr + years

your reply contained not one bank in either country (only financial - SLF)

while i agree things will almost assuredly get rough (er) for banks in the years ahead; are they really all uninvestable now?

in which case making them all a sell ? (and re-buy much lower?)

curious for your comments

thx

Q: I hold some big loss holdings, such as those above, in registered accounts. Even though there is no opportunity to claim tax losses, would it make sense to consider selling them, at least until the new year, to avoid further losses resulting from tax loss season?
Thanks for your insights

Q: Hi, what do you recommend for a small portfolio (< 15k), start with etf only until have a nice nest or canadian stocks (because TSX etf it is not well diversified) + etf for us stocks? I would like to manage a stocks portfolio but maybe it is an error now due to my portfolio size. I think about VFV (35%) + XQQQ (or VGT) (15%) + VEE (10%) + 40% canadian stocks (no etf).

Q: Hi Peter,

Nokia is getting hammered this morning for missing expectations. Do you see this as an opportunity to buy in at this price point or should I steer clear until the new CEO has had more time to make impact? Do you prefer Ericsson in light of their earnings report last week, both, or neither at current prices?

Best,

Curtis
