Q: Hi, thanks very much for the 17% gain in just 7 weeks with CUS!! I have this in my TFSA and am now considering selling and replacing it with either RRX, HCG, KXS or DBO. Assuming diversification is not an issue, which do you see as the best upside potential? Or is it better to hold CUS for a little longer?
Thanks again! Ian

Q: In an transaction to-day DH was sold inadvertently instead of DSG. Since something had to be sold, would you think it is preferable to hold the DSG and let the DH be gone or sell the DSG and repurchase the DH. Commissions are negligible and there is no capital loss involved and an accompanying sale (capital loss) covers any capital gains.

Q: Hi,

XSR bumped up after a news report of a potential offer that may be forthcoming. In the time since that article, most high yielding equities have rallied significantly. I'm wondering if a "potential" bid is not acting as a cap now on XSR? Thoughts? If it was announced that no deal is forthcoming, would you expect the stock to fade, rally, or stay around the current price?

Regards,

Robert
