Q: Hello Peter and co,

I am doing a bit of overdue portfolio clean-up in a TFSA. (long time horizon) - considering selling these holdings and would like your thoughts:

GUD - loss of 28%, but it has moved up significantly the last few days. Keep, Sell now, or Wait (if it has further upside)?

FRII - 80% loss (ouch), but is up 65% since late Oct 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

FTG - 5% loss after years of holding, but is up 40% since late Oct 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

VSR - 40% loss, thought its prospects were compelling, but disappointed so far. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

ENGH - 122% gain, but it has drifted lower since summer 2020. Keep, Sell now, or Wait?

Thanks again for your excellent service!

Q: Hi group lumber companies took it on the chin in 2 short days WEF went down 15% in the last 2 days as an example . Is the run over /(Time to cash in profits) or is this simply some folks taking profits. I know housing starts in the us are off but is the high price on lumber not the culprit here and also looking like lumber inventories remain low which should = higher prices for lumber going fwd. - your thoughts are always appreciated

Q: CIA and RS have both been on my watch list. CIA has hit the price at which I was prepared to buy, but with such a drop in price over the last short while, I am just checking with you to see if there's something I've missed before I pull the trigger ?
Also, would RS, which hasn't come off like CIA, be a significantly preferred choice or some of both ? Any thoughts on entry price for RS ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: TOY reported recent QTR with quite good numbers and future quildance and considering DC issues are the past. Stock reacted well towards $41 and recently stepped back to $35 range.
Do you see any issues here considering management not meeting promises in the past, how do you rate TOY is this a good hold to reach its old glory price range in the 60 or its a dump, if so what will you replace with.

Q: I was contemplating CP for a month now as a mid risk reopening play for my non reg account, also since pipelines are under attack & on 5i's comments on the company. Saturday 11PM, I see their offer for a huge acquisition. My question: What does one do if still interested in the company and how would one proceed? Would you step in right away or would you let the story run and then see what happens considering they just entered negotiations and I guess an approval process by regulators of different countries?
Thank you for your help!
