Q: Dividend reinvestment gives impressive returns for a stock like Royal Bank. But after 20 years, how do you calculate the adjusted cost base foe tax purposes? Would it be easier to buy more stock periodically on the open market with the dividends. Do you pay tax just the same even if you are in the company's reinvestment program? In the example given by one of your subscribers on Royal Bank, were taxes paid taken into account? Thank you.

Q: This question is about adjusted cost base. Say I own the same stock in 2 accounts (one unregistered, the other an RRSP), purchased on separate occasions. If I want to sell the non-registered stock, would my ACB be the average of both purchases?
Thanks for clarifying!

Mr. Hodson, does this recommendation to NOT buy any Canadian bank make sense ? This goes of course against your usual approach to the matter.

Q: Telus and SLF have been components of the model portfolio for more than a year with no rating and I assume they would have to be at least a B- or better to join at all but I wonder if you could assign a provisional rating, perhaps subject to adjustment when full reports are done, so that members can get a better idea of just how keen you are on them. I note also that the Income Portfolio doesn't have a column for ratings, at least for April; would it be possible to add it and assign provisional ratings for the stocks not yet covered too? Thanks, J.

Q: Re: FTS.IR
I am an owner of FTS and have been quite interested in following the merger/take over of UNS. I have been part of other take overs/buyouts with other companies but can't figure out why the .IR units are pounding so much higher. I was hoping you would be able to tell me what is happening with these .IR units and why they are gaining so much. Thanks

Q: LRE
You said " Because it just started a dividend, the payout ratio is a bit of a moving target, but in the first quarter it was just 18%. Based on forecasts by the company, the 2014 ratio will be less than 20%. It is increasing its dividend with the July payment as well (5%) after the acquisition closes."
If the above is correct and their pay out ratio is 20" with a 7% dividend is it not a screaming buy considering all the other positives. I bought 0.5 position and am wondering if I should sell some Surge and buy More ?
Thanks again and again
