Q: Hi,

I just took my loss for RHT. In my TFSA, so that stings a little... but its all good, I'm plus 225% in SHOP and plus 30% in KXS.

Question - which of these 2 companies should I be topping up today, SHOP or KXS? the small sale proceed from RHT is not big enough to start a new position, and my TFSA is capped out.

Thank you.

Q: With this latest revenue fiasco at RHT I am swearing off Canadian healthcare stocks for good. I have been a 5i member since day one, greatly value your service and am not trying to lay any blame here. I lost 80% with Patient Home Monitoring and 97% with Concordia before getting out of these, and am now down 85% with RHT. I agree no one is clairvoyant, but this seems to be a recurring theme in Canadian healthcare. Any thoughts on how we can spot and stay away from names like these in the future?

Q: It doesn't always work and some picks are disappointing but thanks for preaching diversification and reasonable stock weightings. As a % of my portfolio the loss will easily be covered. What I am not sure is how to divest my position for maximum return. Should I just bail ,let the dust settle or is the drop oversold and should I hold. Thanks John

Q: i am concerned about the above 2 stocks, they are thin traders especially covalon.
in covalons case you are the only one following it, so when markets sell off a lot of investors panic and head for the exits.
with goeasy it trades a little more on a daily basis but it has just been killed lately, even though it is up on the year and their earnings announcements surprise to the upside it has gotten slaughtered,maybe again small investors are heading for the exits with their 25 shares, i am being sarcastic but i think your membership moves markets especially in these 2 . can you comment. dave
