Q: I had planned on removing both of these stocks after 5i discontinued them. Unfortunately, I waited too long on and am now down 75% on REAL and 10% on GUD. I heard a speaker on BNN Bloomberg recently say that it is too late to sell stocks that declined since the fall 2021. My question is - should I continue to hold these stocks if I don't plan to use the cash from their sale to purchase anything new (they will stay in cash)? Is there any hope that they can improve?
thanks as always for your help

Q: SWP: It's been a long time since their last report. I understood they would be reporting last week. Does this seem like a sign that I should sell before the news?
GUD: They have been buying back shares for years. Is there reason to believe they are preparing for privatization? In the past year they bought more than $3M in shares. Insiders bought modestly; no sells.

Q: I sold my GUD shares and would like to use this cash to add to either LSPD 1.7 % , SIS 3.4% , TIXT 1.1%. Which one would you add first or should I add to all 3? This is for a TFSA account.

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I'm a long-term, buy-and-hold type but, like most everyone else, I'm losing patience with GUD, which I started accumulating in 2016.

If there's anything good to say about it, it is that its share price has held up fairly well during recent upheavals and overall market declines.

With that in mind, I'm considering pulling the trigger to raise funds, as I see other buying opportunities coming in to view and the opportunity cost to continue holding seems ever more painful.

Speaking of painful, I'll take a 30% hit, but doing so will free up decent funds for other purchases (likely TOI).

Is there a compelling argument to be made to continue holding GUD?

Appreciate your insights as always.

Marc.

Q: I have these holdings in a TFSA shown in descending %. First four at 15% each. Next three at 10% each. Adding $7000. Any additions to what I have? Any new ones? I appreciate the %'s are personal choices ( Part of let the winners run camp). Would you advise trimming?
Have good day. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
It appears that Knight Therapeuctics is testing ones patience for long term investing. Do you think it is worth a hold given the lack of performance for a long time? I am bit puzzled as sometimes when there is no attention paid to a stock, it is a good time to buy if the leadership and fundamentals appear to be intact. Please advise. Also, Nuvei seems to be developing more partnerships. Is it worth adding to a full 5 percent position as it has settled into the 80s range.. Thank you for the service.

Q: Good morning, I have 32 positions spread between the two TFSA's that I manage. I'd like to get that down to 25. The above are holdings that have fallen to less than half positions and I'm wondering if you could suggest 6 or 7 for removal. Also are there any that you would add to in order to bring them up to half positions. Secondly, without knowing my weightings, do you have a suggested sector or two for this years TFSA contribution?

Q: Howdy to all you Santa's helpers, thanks for all your wise council.
My question today is: i recently sold GUD after a long hold and so am looking for another healthcare replacement. I know you have reported on NBLY and AND and so wondering which of the two you would recommend to replace GUD. Or, do you have a better recommendation?

Thanks to all

Q: I am considering sell GUD and buying IBB and/or IHI and/or VEEV and/or GH. Risk is not an issue and I am okay with US stocks as well as Canadian. Your comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for your service
