Q: CSS Contrans and investing rules and disciplines:
Having hung on to too many stocks over the years as they dropped 10% or more under the "buy" price, I am working on my "sell" disciplines.
I am now down 10% on CSS. Does one hit the sell button, hang on and "hope" or carefully watch for further decreases and buy more?

Thanks for your help and guidance in this tricky market.

Q: does tax loss selling only apply if done when the calendar rolls over i.e. 2013-14, or can I sell something now ((Aug 29, 2013) and buy it back a month from now (Oct 2, 2013)and use that loss against potential taxes? This way I could get the tax loss and buy back in while the stock is in the duldrums (RPL)

Q: Good Morning Team. I have a question on Mr. Market. I own Silver Wheaton @ $35 and have ridden it all the way down. Lately my patience has been rewarded and I was getting excited. Monday it hit about $30.60 interday then proceeded to drop about 12% by close Wednesday. This in light of Syria, a bull market in silver and silver equities, and a generally frightening outlook for the US and global financial systems. I don't get it. Who is selling? Why? Is the system just rigged to screw the little guy like me. Makes zero sense!

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Novus, NVS, is it normal for the stock to be halted this long? Based on your experience, your thoughts on why they don't let the stock trade would be interesting. Clearly they must be in negotiations but why not clarify with any material information and let the stock trade again? Also, for those members interested in NVS there was an interesting blurb yesterday on BNN, The Close, by Andrew McCreath with Michael Hainsworth. Thanks!

Q: CGI Group (GIB.A) has recently had its accounting questioned by Veritias research of Toronto. According to a recent article in the Globe and Mail the analysts there are of the opinion that the recent logica acquistion in the UK is being used imaginatively by the accountants at CGI to artificially inflate future earnings at the company. Nothing illegal is suggested but its rather dubious if true. Any comments?

Q: Hi Peter,
I have a question about FCR. I increased my position in early Aug and it is now about 5% of my portfolio. I also own HR.UN, CUF.UN, and AX.UN, approx. 5% portfolio each. These stocks continue to slide, so I'd like to ask you whether you recommend to hold, sell and cut losses, or buy more for either of these? I am looking for long term growth/income rather than immediate one. Thanks a lot!
