Investment Q&A

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

Q: Is there a "superficial gains" rule? I am asking as I am trying to determine the most effective ways to make use of capital losses. Would "washing" some existing gains in a tax year by selling and then immediately rebuying the up security be an effective way to use capital losses?

Q: Further to my earlier question today- just realised I still have the original BIP shares (duh!). Hard to tell with this volatility but is the BIPC a "bonus" or is BIP value offset by the same amount? Will BIPC be paying a dividend and what is the rate? Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

Q: Hello 5i
BIPC has been placed in my American unregistered account. Also my wife has the same but in her TFSA account. Should I leave everything as is or put BIPC into a Canadian account? I am retired with a good pension. TD just has the stock as BIPC not BIPC.CA or BIPC.W, though it is in a U.S. account.

Q: Hi,

I have a position in PXT. I read an article that indicated that at $30 Brent oil price, PXT is still profitable.

With Brent oil prices currently at around $30 and PXT having cash on hand and no debt, could you please share your opinion on the stock and if PXT would be the one oil based recovery stock to benefit provided oil prices don’t sink further.

Thanks,

Q: Neither of my Cdn bank online brokerages show any new shares for UTX this morning, and UTX now trades as RTX as I understand it. But I'm reading conflicting info on what will happen with my UTX shares. Will they just become RTX? Will I receive spin off shares? A google search doesn't seem to give a clear answer.

Q: I have 100k to invest and require income from dividends as it for non registered account. Irregardless of sectors, which solid, dividend paying stocks would you buy that have been beaten down and provide the most dividends for the buck. Would you buy all at once or spread the purchases over a time frame.
