Q: Hi, holding a few of these losers now in my non registered accounts - they were nice winners just a short time ago. What are the best proxies for these as a tax loss strategy? If my holding is CAD and the proxy is US, should I convert CAD funds to buy US or avoid these situations? Also, at what $ or price % loss would you consider doing these tax loss trades? Thanks!

Q: I'm looking to take advantage of the strengthening CAD and add risk by selling my stake in GUD (break even) and purchasing caredx and gaurdent for a five year holding period. Is this a bad idea? Will recent comments from the White House around healthcare reform help or hurt these companies? Thanks
