Q: want to raise some cash(tech breaking down technically) in what order would you sell the above listed stocks bearing some are winners and some are losers so what your recommendation sell winners or losers first without getting in to too much specifics. CSU as an example sell now to claim loss or then buy back after 30 days FFH on the other hand is up 60% so sell now and hope to buy back later at lower price. what would you do?

Q: I have a book cost of $10,600 for my 600 parkland shares.
I received $11,880 in cash and 177 Sunoco shares ( book value $ 12700. } For tax purposes is it all taxable ? I.E. 24,580 .
The Sunoco shares have been put into the Canadian side of my account,so I assume the transaction is all in Canadian dollars. Is that correct? Thank you for your help.

Q: On your tax loss selling article, I noticed with First Service it seemed like there was a 14.8% would that have been the adding of the EBIT to the CARG?

TRI
32 times forward earnings. Is PE low valuation. I always thought PE was the expense ratio and with 32 it would be an expensive stock but in your article you called it the PE a low valuation.

Hoping to get it in more simplified terms.
Thank you

Q: Hello,
Wondering what your thoughts are on accumulating TFII at these levels? For a longterm hold. I realize there might be more tax loss selling and pressure on the stock if a recession arises but would this be already priced into the stock at this time?

Thank you

Q: Atco sent a message to shareholders of Class I and Class II shares today. There will be a special meeting in December to vote on Class II shares becoming Class I shares, for various reasons --- one of them being that the existing Class II shares are not very liquid (low trading volume).

Would this change to the share structure affect Class I shareholders in any significant way going forward?

And, please confirm that only the Class II shareholders are entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Thank you and have a great day.

Q: WSP, WCN and X have been trending down in the last few months. What do you see the future growth for these companies in the next 5 years? Are these good entry points or should it be a hold?

Q: Good morning ... Still on 2 week evaluation. I have been reviewing member questions and answers. DSG is a recommended stock. Someone asked you to rate them and whether or not to buy them. DSG was a 4, which to the member was not a strong buy. Yet in other member questions, you recommend DSG quite strongly. Why would DSG not be a buy since it is on a downturn? Thank you. This does seem like a credible website.

Q: Hi again,
Just submitted a question about MDA that wasn't well proofread and below is the question as it should have been - I hope you can substitute the corrected version before publishing. Thanks!

Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the earnings report issued this morning? To me it looked good, but for a dearth of free cash - is that observation correct and, if so, is it a concern?
Also:
After the last big price drop based on the Globalstar rumour, MDA management wrote:

"MDA Space is monitoring fluctuations in our share price that appear to be the result of unconfirmed and speculative media reports related to mergers and acquisitions in our customer base. As a matter of policy, MDA Space does not comment on rumours or speculation. MDA Space management will provide a full update on its business outlook as part of our next regularly scheduled earnings release on November 14, 2025."

I was looking forward to reading MDA's response to potential loss of contracts this morning, but it's "full business outlook" didn't address the issue at all - although the issue certainly hasn't gone away. Again, cause for concern?
Thanks,
Peter
