Q: My husband has some old capital losses that I think we should start to be using now in the event of any possible future rule changes. He has a 10 position unregistered account in which there are 3 equities with substantial gains from 125% to 1350%, i.e.: WSP, ENGH and CJT.
There are 2 equities with 50% and 70% gain, i.e. SYZ and WPM and 1 equity with 35% gain, i.e. KXS. The remaining 4 have small profit or loss, i.e. CAE, MCR, CCL.B, PBH.
Looking at selling WSP, ENGH, CJT, SYZ ,WPM and perhaps KXS to apply some of the old losses. What would you recommend to buy for replacement (a 1st and 2nd choice if you could) and would you move back into the original equity after 30 days or would you just stick with the replacement ? A dividend would be nice but not mandatory. Also, any thoughts on timing considerations or other issues ? We have diversified RIFs and TFSAs in addition to the above.
Many thanks.

Q: CJT: I have an unrealized gain of 996%, yes, 996%. I bought it at $7.70 and it's currently at $84.40. Most of your comments are positive about this company, except regarding the debt level. Do you see any issues or concerns to continue holding this stock for years to come? In a case like this massive gain, it is better to take at least some profits?

Q: I've done very well holding Cargojet for the last 5 years. However, I just read the CFRA, QUANTITATIVE STOCK REPORT dated March 01, 2019. and it rates this stock as a SELL. Further, the report states: " TSX: CJT's SELL recommendation is based on its score from CFRA's quantitative model for Canada." Is there any cause for concern? Is this due to their debt load?
