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

Q: Just a comment on the answer you gave to the question posed by Kolbi on Llloyds bank. Unless the rules have changed very recently I believe the UK has no witholding tax on dividends paid to foreign residents. UK residents have a $10K dividend tax free allowance (reducing to $4K next year) after which they are taxed 7.5%. Don't feel to sorry for them though, their TFSA is $40K a year!

Q: I am trying to break my need to hold on to my losers. I have held KPT for 4 years with nothing to show other than the dividend. I like the dividends but I don't have need of them at this time and I want something with some growth too. Should I give it up? If so any suggestions for a replacement?

Thank you

Q: so knight is turning out be the ultimate dog, everyone including me and 5i is holding knght on the assumption that sooner than later he does a huge deal.
m question is why should we hold it,there are so many great stocks i could buy wth my 12000 shares reduced from 30000 over the last 6 months.
and it is not like he is going to do an amaya deal issuing stock at double its price the day a deal is announced, so i pay 2 dollars more to buy knight when a deals announced,but that could be in years.i feel i am being suckered.
a great money manager that you know said to me about knight, lightning never strikes the same place twice. dave

Q: Not to add to several Shopify questions this morning, but I assume that the Citron shorting is significant enough to affect markets. So what, if anything, is know about the volume, trigger prices and holding periods of these shorts? Would it be reasonable to think the stock will be more volatile during the period when these shorts are held, and possibly see upside trend as shorts get close to lapsing?

Q: How serious could Norfolk Southern's lawsuit against Boatright Railroad Products be for SJ? Globe's Report on Business this morning says Boatright sold 5 mn defective ties to Norfolk between 2009 and 2014 - all installed, some on bridges. I believe SJ bought Boatright in June 2014. Are buyers, in this case SJ, protected by the terms of acquisition agreements from negligence and fraud that occurred prior to acquisitions? What about damage to SJ's reputation? I hope SJ not only comes out blameless on this, but takes strong steps to "underline" their commitment to quality.
Thank you.
