Q: Good Morning Peter and team, I'm holding a number of stocks which I could charitably classify as "dogs". They include, ZAR,MGO,RET.A,NGD,TCK.B. All of these now make up less than 1% of my portfolio. On the brighter side I do have a few winners. (Thanks 5I) I'm up to 9% on CSU and 7.5% on ESL. Should I sell all of the dogs and trim back to 5% or so on the winners or should I try cover more of my losses and sell all of my winners. I would then buy back to 5% in 30 days. Thanks for your advice. Rod

Q: I hold BPY, HR, TCN, REI, CIG and FSV. I have done well with all of them but am now wanting to cull the herd so to speak. It's not that the weighting is high for the group, I'd just like to keep a couple that would offer the best long term (5-10 year) growth opportunity. Can you help me pick 2 or maybe 3 to keep?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Q: With the bought deal at $25.50 on ACQ announced yesterday... Do you think this is a good price to enter a position in this company? I realize it will be some time for the Alberta economy to turn around but it seems as if they are diversifying away from Alberta somewhat.

Q: CU has been one of my most steady dividend growers and I have held it for about 15 years. BUT is down +10 in Nov alone. Any idea why? Does utility exposure in a portfolio include pipes and renewables like ENB and BEP?

Q: I am down huge on BNP (have a 1.5% position after the rough ride the last few years). Sector weightings aside, would you suggest buying BNP or PPY right now or would you avoid natural gas focused companies completely? Thanks!
Q: Hi Guys. Down about 30% on cpx. Bought it for income and stability. Would you advise to switch to another stock or hold for dividend. Thanks Mike
Q: Having a hard time understanding why Brookfield management remains inactive relative to this truly horrible closed end fund it launched at $10. The value has subsequently drifted down in terms of price and net asset value to the $5 range. Incredibly, the same manager has remained in place since the outset. Very little change in their published holdings although AGF was finally disposed of after substantial capital loss. I bought this partly because of the Brookfield sponsorship. It seems this was totally misguided. In your opinion is there any hope for a restructuring or corporate intervention of some kind. Despite the original 6% yield, now 8%, what would you do with it.
