Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter: I made a mistake selling a stock within 30 days after purchasing for tax loss. Then people told me I could use the loss amount to increase the ACB if I buy the same stock again, is this true? Is there any time limit to buy it back? Thank you.

Merry X'mas & Happy New Year to you and your team.

Q: Appreciate advice on tax-loss selling. I have not yet realized any of my capital gains from this year and don't intend to. I do have some stocks that are down - eg. BDI, AVO.

I have a long-term horizon but in general, is there any advantage to realizing capital losses without offsetting gains versus just sitting tight and riding out the drop.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: If you sell a stock in a Tax free account that results in a capital loss does the loss provide you with additional room within the tax free account over and above your annual contributions?

Q: With a diversified fixed income portfolio, which would you prefer:
Arits REIT AX.DB.U 5.75% 30-JUN-2018 Price:104.75, YTM:4.3%
Parland Fuel Bond 5.5% 28-May-2001 Price: 102.50, YTM: 5.2%
Also, an RRSP has to be converted to a RRIF in the year someone turns 71, do you have to withdraw that year, or is it the year in which you turn 72 that you have to start withdrawing?
