Q: I own XTC, which is currently down 15% in my portfolio. I'm considering locking in a capital loss for tax purposes, then purchasing MG, which has shown a much better trend and better earnings results. Do you think locking in a loss in XTC (possibly to re-purchase after 30 days), and purchasing MG would be a reasonable move at this time?

Q: Hi, can you rank the following companies as long term hold potential taking into account current valuations. I am looking to start positions in all companies I am just not sure which ones to start with.

Also, I feel like there is so much noise about moving away from oil that buying ENB long term can be a bad portfolio decision. Can you also comment on this. I am 30 and don't plan on selling anything any time soon.
