Q: In an earlier question asking whether it would be wise to buy atz now, you said you would hold if you owned it or wait till the dust settles, if you don’t. I have been thinking about taking a tax loss on it. The idea was to buy it in my rif, wait one month and then sell it in my non registered account. A lot can happen in a month, though, and i hesitate, wondering whether i should buy a place holder. I am a bit leery of Canada Goose, though. Perhaps i don’t even have to be in that sector for a place holder. Wondering about your thoughts on this?
Thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i
I own GXE in a TFSA and in the midst of today's bloodbath the value of my holding is down 45% from when I bought quite some time ago. There's not an overly significant amount of money involved and I can ride it out if that's the thing to do, but I would like to minimize my losses as effectively as possible.
With that in mind, what would you recommend I do - sell, hold or buy some more at the current depressed price, and why?
Thanks 5i, I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Good morning,

I recently asked a question about Equinix - thank you for your response. I also own Pure Storage, which is in a different sector from Equinix but seems related in that they both offer data storage - at least, that is how it seems to a non-techie like myself. Do you think these two are different enough to own both? My portfolio has too many small positions so I'm looking to concentrate and am wondering of one of these could be sold. Would you hold both? If you were to sell one, which would you choose?

Thank you,

Q: Yesterday, in an answer to a question about a small cap ETFs, you referred to XSU. That appears to be Canadian hedged but has a double layer of holdings by way of holding a share in a US fund, making it less efficient tax wise. Are there any other funds trading in Canada that are hedged but own the holdings directly? If so, can you pls indicate if you see them as a suitable place to invest. Thank you

Q: In August of 2019, between "TRI" (at $80/per share) and "GIB.A" (at $101/per share), based on P/E valuation, I bought "GIB.a". Then three years later, in August, 2022, I compared both companies share performance, "TRI" went up 90% while "GIB.a" share price was in sleeping bag, almost the same as I bought 3 years ago. Considering no dividends while waiting, so I sold "GIB.a" and bought "TRI" which I am still happy with the switch. However, since beginning of this year, GIB.A left the sleeping bag and started moving up, and share price has gone up almost 30%. I wonder if you could help me understand what’s the reasons behind the move, worth to buy at current level? Thanks.
