Q: Based on the price appreciation of Amaya this month the Model Portfolio weighting has likely gone from 5-6% to 10-11%, unless there's been a reallocation, as there was in May. I get the philosophy of not wanting a position to get too large in a portfolio but surely this idea might be counterbalanced sometimes by the idea of letting your profits run (and not adding to your losers) particularly on a stock that has such a great promise. If profits were taken on AYA on the way up, at what point was the decision made to do so, and what was the rationale behind it? Thanks, J.

Q: I have held on to Cominar REIT and Northland Power for a year and a half and 2 years respectively on the theory that there is no point in realizing my loss and putting the money to work elsewhere unless the outlook for CUF and NPI is dim. Is my reasoning right, and if it is, is the outlook OK for those two? CUF, sadly is in a TFSA. I'm trying to wrap my head around "selling your losers" versus needlessly trading. Thank you so much for this service. I am really enjoying the education I am receiving thanks to you.

Q: I have an unrealized capital loss on Canexus (CUS), with an ACB of $8.90. Do you see any hope with this company? I see recent reports from analysts suggesting they should sell the infrustructure assets. Should I patiently collect the dividend or capture my loss and move on.
