Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I've held LWRK (previously MSI) for a couple of years in my cash account and am up some 46% (but down from a high of 65%). The company has been struggling of late - due, I suspect, to its recent rebranding and the general market downturn. If this were in a registered account, I would have kicked it to the curb already. The only thing stopping me is my reluctance to pay capital gains. When do you see LWRK's performance improving and what factors will influence this? Hang onto it...or move on and pay the tax? Your advice appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have shares of ECN in both my non-registered and TFSA accounts. Could you tell me if the special dividend of $7.50 will be treated by Revenue Canada as a regular dividend by a Canadian corporation. If so then there will be a percentage added to the amount of dividend for total income purposes which could affect my marginal tax rate. Is it better then to move the non-registered shares into my TFSA (in spite of the dividend tax credit) which will trigger a capital gains of 50% of the profit. Thanks as always for the great service!
