Q: I have held Firm Capital (FC) for a couple years, and am now down on stock price after, unfortunately, adding more last spring. I am considering using this for a tax loss. I might replace it with MCAN (MKP), which appears to be a fairly similar company with a similar yield. How would you rate MKP v FC? Alternatively, do you think it is better to sell FC and move the funds to a different sector? FC is about 2% of my portfolio, and I am retired and invest for income. Thank-you.

Q: I have $15,000 in TFSA and I am wondering how to structure it.
Main goal would be income (dividents) and hopefully 7-9% capital appreciation per year. Nothing aggressive, but steady income and some growth.
The problem is the size of the capital on hand, only $15,000.
