Q: Hi
I am an ETF rookie.
Please help me understand the tax side of the ETF world . For example, in a non- registered account, would the tax friendly " dividend gross up" apply to the dividends received from
ISHARES CANADIAN SELECT DIVIDEND INDEX FUND (Toronto symbol XDV)?
Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I am planning to sell ABX to take a tax loss. However, I like to stay invest in the gold/gold miner sector. I can get my wife to buy back ABX or any of the above companies. I would like your opinion on your preferred investment vehicle in gold/gold miner at this time > any of the above 5 companies? or do you have any other favorite company in this sector ? BTW, can you let me know if I buy ABX in the NYSE, will its dividend qualified for Canadian dividend tax credit ? Thank you.
Q: I am retired and my income needs are covered by pension and RRSP. My question is about my non sheltered investment account and the dividends. Since I don't require the income from that account, would it make sense to enroll the dividend securities in the DRIP/DPP plans available? Would this reduce my income for tax purposes because I would just be "buying" more of the security instead of gaining cash dividends?
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.

Q: I wish to realize a capital gain on a number of positions. I also plan to immediately re-purchase these same positions. From a tax standpoint, can I simply sell and then re-buy straight away (e.g. a few seconds/minutes later), or do I need to wait some period of time? Thank-you.
Q: Hi Peter,
Kudos to you and Ryan and team for the great upgrades to the website.
It looks like tax-loss selling this year could present some interesting opportunities, especially in certain resource sectors like precious metals and natural gas that have been beaten down. I have been compiling my own buy list but would be interested in seeing what yours looks like.
Please provide three names in each of the following sectors that you would look at during the next few weeks of TLS: [1] precious metals, [2] energy, [3] general canadian small to mid cap.
Also can you comment on the period of tax-loss selling and how consistent this is year to year?)
