Q: A conundrum....
As with most investors, I have winners such as 'ATD', 'CSU', ';TFI' and 'WSP'. Because of this delightful phenomena, they now represent a much higher percentage of holdings than they did at purchase. I am reluctant to admit that I also have 'losers' such as 'ECN', 'LSPD', 'GSY', 'TCN' and 'SHOP'. Obviously their portfolio percentages are much lower than at purchase. I eschew selling winners, so please help me out in terms of re-allocating the broad spectrum of stocks, i.e. sell fractions of the 'winners' and average down on the 'losers'?

Q: What weight, if any, do you put on Warren Buffett, through Berkshire, increasing his position in a stock? As you well know, he has a strong reputation for finding value. In the 3rd Q, Buffett increased his holdings in PARA to $1.7B. What is your view of PARA here? I think you last had it as a sell but that was in a portfolio clean-up. What does Buffett see that others may not see?
Thanks

Q: I had a thesis about Gold and purchased these 3 stocks. My thesis did not pan out, so to speak, and I wish to do some tax harvesting. I am inclined to continue to hold some Gold but wonder what your current thoughts are about the sector? Also, if you were me and wanted to stay in the sector, can you suggest some proxies to hold upon the harvest. FYI, I have a small position in Teck. Last, can you indicate which of the 3 holdings you might see as worthy of getting back into. Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
As a value investor, SYZ is sold with a loss. PepsiCo, bought a while ago has an increase by the same amount as the loss. The dividend is 2.6%. If I sell Pepsico what suggestions would there be to replace these that have a signficant dividend? I am a 77 year old value investor with a ten year time frame with stocks and 16 ETF's in all 11 sectors, 6 ETF's of which are covered call. Any suggestions as to this strategy would be appreciated. Please take as many credits as required.
Thank you,
Stanley

Q: Hi 5i,
sorry for beating this horse but I would appreciate your thoughts on AQN.
These are speculative events. Can you prioritize these possible future events and give some high level reasons they might do it. Priority #1 being the most likely if it ever happens. (a) approx. dividend cut by 50%. (b) issuing more shares. (c) buying back shares. (d) issuing more debt. (e) asset sales. (f) others? I noticed that there has been some insider buying buy the CEO very recently. Thanks for your thoughts!
