Q: I am considering tax loss harvesting in these companies from my non registered acct.
FIH.UN down 18%
CVE down 22%
CGNX down 13 %
SQ down 24%
Are these companies sells? Which companies would you recommend replacing them with so I don't miss any possible rebounds. OR is it time to move the money to different sectors with better opportunities for 2018. OR these stocks are poised for a quicker rebound and should be held onto?
Looking for guidance here and greatly appreciate your help.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and company!

First off, congratulations on the Balanced Portfolio once again beating the TSX Index! Not an easy feat, since typically most paid money managers cannot.

Looking at 2018, with the U.S. tax reform Bill likely becoming a law today, what stocks covered by 5i benefit from a lower U.S. corporate tax rate and immediate expensing of capital purchases?

Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Angelo

Q: What did you think of EA last earnings report and would you consider buying it now that it has taken a bit of a dip? Also, do you consider it a 'gaming' stock or a 'tech' stock or does it fit into some other category?
Thank you.

Q: As I understand it, the purchase of WGL Holdings will be paid for with the US$4.95 billion bridge loan provided by the banks with the balance being assumed debt. The intention is to replace the bridge loan with the proceeds from the subscription receipts, the private placement to OMERS and additional debt, preferred shares and hybrid securities. One of the major concerns investors seem to have about ALA is a fear that it might run into the same issues as Kinder Morgan and its purchase of NGPL. In that case the stock price plummeted from $45 to $15 when it had to cut the dividend in the face of Moody's threat to cut their rating. In your assessment is ALA in a similar precarious position or does it have it's financing in place? I have a full position in ALA and I am trying to reasonably assess the risks based on what we know (speculative risks are what they are).
Appreciate your thoughts as always.

Q: Merry Christmas to you folks
I have held Onex for many years and done well by it. I could add to it to bring it up to full position in a well diversified low risk portfolio. Just wondering about timing. I hear BNN guests talk about good times and bad times in the cycle to buy private equity type companies like Onex and KKR. Just wondering if this is a good time or better to wait for setback in market.

Thanks Stuart
