Q: For renewable energy, I already have BEPC and AQN. For pipeline and utilities, I've ENB and TRP. I can harvest a small tax loss by selling ENB. Should I use the sale proceeds to add to TRP or buy back ENB after 30 days? Which would you prefer and why? Or would I get much better future growth and financial strength by using the proceeds to buy another renewable energy company like NPI? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
I am down a little over 50% on Western Forest. It is in my TFSA account, so I will not get any benefit as a tax loss. I am willing to hold on to it if there's a reasonable chance that in a year or two the stock will start growing and a dividend will be re-instated. Would it be more prudent to sell the stock and take the loss and buy something else? And, do you have any suggestions for a replacement?

Q: I have decided to go with your recommendation and move a small portion of my portfolio to a robo-advisor. Few questions:

1. I have losses on PPL(37%) and TD (15%), Would you sell now and transfer the cash to or hold on to these until they recover?
2. I have narrowed down to two robo-advisors. Questtrade and Wealthsimple. Which one would you pick?

Thanks again for quick and helpful responses,
