Q: What do you attribute to the head wind, other than the smear by the short sellers, that DH faces since April this year?

DH is my single largest holding and it was cruising along nicely until the recent bumps. I also made the "rookie" mistake of increasing my stake in DH as share price spirals downward. To make a long story short, it went from my biggest winner to my biggest loser in my portfolio in a flash.

My dilemma is - do I add even more (betting this sell down is over done), hold a bit longer (hoping for a turn around by some upcoming catalyst), or sell some or all (to cut my losses and move on.

The real key is the business operation of DH. What's you read on the business of DH?

You insight s much appreciated.

Q: Wondering your opinion on recent news about MPH -- FDA seems to want more information on their drug application.

Would this trigger a sell for you on a longer term hold?

Q: Hello Peter
I am currently down about 30% on MG which is 5% of my portfolio.
I hold 60% of MG in unregistered account & 40% of MG in my TFSA acct.
My concern is would it be wise to sell it now and buy instead NFI or SIS and if so which one would you prefer first NFI or SIS, which one has more "growth" left.

Thanks for great service!
