Q: I understand that there will be a capital gains tax generated in 2020 when Boyd converts to a corporation.
I currently have a profit of $57,000 on these shares which are held in a non registered account. I think that I should sell the shares now with a view of buying them back after 30 days as the tax rate could be higher next year
I believe the Liberals will agree with the Ndp to increase the capital gains inclusion rate next year if the Ndp agree not to block the Transmountain Pipe Line.
This will help appease the wexit provinces and generate additional tax revenue.
Should I sell the shares now or after the November 13th earnings report or sell half now and the other half after the report
Thank you for your excellent service and your recommendation on Boyd.

Q: Hi 5i team,
These two stocks, which are in the Balance portfolio, had a lot of happenings in the past few days. GIL posted negative news while GUD posted positive news. Is it a good time to initiate a 4% position in one or both stocks ? Would it be prudent to add to these two stocks right now, or better to wait till the dust settles.
Thanks

Q: After reading your most recent comments on the TSGI/FLTR transaction, I checked with my broker about the possibility of selling FLTR after the transaction closes in Q3 2020. My broker doesn't handle anything but CDN and USA stock exchanges. You've suggested that selling TSGI nearer the closing date (a year from now) might carry increased risk of share decline. That said, should I sell my $10k investment fairly soon, or sit and wait a while? Thanks.

Q: Would you update Knight;s share count following their buyback announced this summer? How many shares and floating shares are now outstanding?
Once they complete the purchase, do you think they will do a financing if they can get the share price back above ten dollars to finance possible future deals with their new company or possibly continue to pursue other deals.
Finally, how much cash will they be left with once they spend the $369M?
Thank you - very excited to see this deal!

Q: Hi, Badger Daylightinh was added to Balanced Portfolio recently, as it dropped from its high after last quarter's soft results, which you characterized as " one time". Induatrial alliance today downgraded the energy services sector as well as diversified energy companies, expecting more misses in coming quarter. BAD's was a Hold and its price target was dropped to $43 from $46. Lower rigs utilization south of the border was cited as one of the reasons.
My question is that BAD appears to be lumped with energy services sector, for its valuation and growth prospects, although most of its clients are in utilities sector. If this continues to be the case, how do you see BAD separating itself from energy services pack and receiving a more appropriate multiple. Do you expect this to be an ongoing overhang and if so, does it deserve a place in Balanced Portfolio ? It was added to the portfolio at $39.90 ( I think). Is it prudent to just take a smal loss and move on? Thanks
