POT - got in recently @ 156... will hold for at least 2 years
STP - got in recently @ $35US... might be holding this one for a while
SU - held for years, will ride it out a couple more
COS.UN - same as SU

planning to get into financials & health care to diversify, will hold off on the financials until more is clear. scouting some health care stocks, they dont get hit bad during market turmoil.
