Worst and Best Performers
Only 2 of 9 stocks in the Portfolio, being NFI Group and Vermilion Energy, are “under water”. The best performers are AltaGas up 43.3% and Kinaxis up 23.8%. Canada Goose has gone into another tail-spin. The stock has been up and down like a yo-yo all year. Fairfax Financial Holdings rallied strongly recently and is now back in positive territory. We will watch this one closely and will take advantage of any suitable opportunity for an exit.
