Q: Hi,
I have shares of Equinox Gold in my TFSA and a few months ago they separated their copper assets into a company called Solaris Copper Inc. There was no value assigned to the shares, I'm not sure if they are even a public company yet.
Regardless I assumed the shares will just sit there until a value is assigned and they could be traded publicly. Recently I received a letter from iTRADE informing me that the shares of Solaris are a non qualified security and all income earned and all capital gains derived from the non-qualified investment will be reported to Canada Revenue Agency on a T3RET trust return . Any tax payable on this amount will be levied directly against the TSFA account.
Can you explain this to me? The shares have no value so I can't see that I am on the hook for any penalty. 50% of $0 is $0. Secondly I am angry at Equinox for putting me in this position.
Thanks,
Charlie
Q: I know 5i has been cautious on levered ETF's. That said, what are the most liquid levered gold ETF's with the lowest fees (long and short, respectively)?
Q: XAU owns near 80 M shares of Mene. In the Q, I read, the class B shares will be marked to market on Goldmoney’s balance sheet in subsequent quarters.
Not sure what this means. I believe this will have no impact on EPS, even when sold this will be a one time revenue, is this correct ? How do you see this moving the sp of XAU should Mene ever become say a $ 1.00 stock?
Thanks for all your help.
Q: I am curious to know what percentage of my portfolio should be invested in the Gold sector (Bullion and/or Stocks) if I am a growth investor. Is there are range you would be comfortable with?
WDO looks like its performing very well in the gold sector. Is this a gold stock you would endorse today? Is there potential for WDO to be the next KL?
Q: Caledonia's share price seems to have plateaued somewhat since at least November 2018, trading mostly between $7 and $8. I've done well by it but am growing impatient. It is a relatively small holding in my TFSA. I'm wondering if I'm better off selling and investing the proceeds elsewhere. (I have three other mining holdings.) As always, I welcome your insights.
