Q: If I add to an existing equity position with 1000 shares at $50, my existing ACB is $40, then sell those 1000 shares in 31 days at $52, is my reported capital gain on those 1000 shares $2 or $12. (and let's exclude the obvious change in the ACB with this purchase).

Thank you.

Q: Greetings:
Some years ago I purchased some Uranium units and they did nothing but go down for 11 years. Now, in spite of energy stocks not being especially lively, and most mining stocks, including copper, having a rough go, Uranium is the star. In September, 2023 spot uranium was $61.00 a pound, now $106.00, and many pundits say the party is just getting started. What is your opinion? Is there still some runway or should a person sell and be happy.
Thanks, Ben.

Q: On Jan. 17 Fernando asked a hypothetical question about keeping down the taxes on capital gains. I don't understand the last sentence of your reply: "Gains can also be reduced by carrying charges (interest) if any of the stocks pay a dividend". Can you please explain this? What in this situation can be written off as a carrying charge?

Q: hi,
I hold all these, several fro many years. they are all in the red. many are (former) stalwart blue chip dividend plays. I am basically comfortable holding them, and I do expect a good rebound in prices when rates start to fall. 1) am I missing something? are there any in the list that you think the dividend may be in jeopardy, or you see no runway for growth ( small or large). 2) are there any in the list you would be comfortable adding to ( which is what I am wanting to do)?
cheers, Chris
