Q: I hold OGI (-67%), SPB (-18%), TCL.A (-20%), and RCI.B (-10%) all at the losses indicated. Which would you buy more of, hold, or sell? Would you switch RCI.B for more BCE or T, both of which I already hold? I'm looking for capital gains with a dividend, when possible. Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello and thank you for the great recommendations. I just wanted your opinion and analysis on Superior Plus Corp. The dividend is high and seems safe. They seem to also have some kind of a monopoly in the space and I’m interested in the upside potential. I am interested in getting in at the 9$ level and average down if possible. Thank you!

Q: I am currently down about 25% on both Superior Plus and Russel Metals (held in a RSP account).
However, both have had a nice run off the bottom over the past couple of weeks and I am now thinking of raising some cash in anticipation of another significant market decline, at which time I would take advantage of the opportunity to move in to names such as Fortis, Nutrien and Royal Bank.
Do you think this is a reasonable strategy or are SPB and RUS the type of names that could be "safely" held on to for the longer term?
Thanks, Rick

Q: Hello 5i team
Thanks for working through this mess.
I have BCE, ENB, EIF, FSZ, MG, PBH, SPB in a non registered. I can sell these for a tax loss presently but should I, and if I do should I replace them with similar dividend players or risk 30 days to buy them back? This might fall into the personal decision category but if there is any comments or advice that you could provide please.
Thanks
Jeremy
