Q: I realize past performane does not not indicate future performancebut MRU has outpermormed L and EMP.A on 5, 10 and 20 year metrics. I am looking for a long term consumer staple so at present I am thinking MRU or maybe all 3 makes sense also.

Q: I had held LIF for a few years and sold it earlier this fall to take advantage of a tax loss. Am thinking of buying back in once Tax Loss Selling season starts (late Nov). Materials would represent 10% of my Cdn Equity portfolio broken down between SJ, AGU, AFN and LIF in fairly equal percentages.
In the short term I am buying primarily for the dividend income and understand Capital Appreciation may not take place for a few years till Iron Ore prices improve.
Your thoughts on my plans for the materials section of my portfolio and at current Iron Ore prices is LIFs dividend secure?

Q: Hello,

I have all this stocks down.
FM -72%,
G -38%,
GSY -22%,
HCG -30%,
QST -84%,
SGY -63%
TOU -52%

The question is do I sell them (for tax purposes) and hope they will be around the same price in 30 days? buy some replacement now? which ones? or let them go because they are out of favor and move to something else? What do you recommend?

The amount to invest is aprox 200K.

Thank you
M
