Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is a simple question for you but I do not want to make a mistake with CRA in regards to Capital Gains. If I have a stock in the green and sell ...do I have to pay on just 50% of that gain? On the other hand If I have a second stock in the red of an equal loss and sell...does that just negate the gain entirely? On the other hand are gains only at 50% and losses at 100%? In other words how does one calculate capital gains in general?Thanks...don't want to get into trouble with the "Tax-Man"! Ha!Ha!

Q: If the US decided to devalue their currency, how would that effect stocks?

I read some where they did this in 1933 and 1971.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this stock for sometime and am up with its recent run. I have hit my sell target but now gold is surging. I am a disciplined long term investor. So your opinion please...do you think it has a little or great run way. I accept that you can not expect to sell at the exact high or buy at the exact low. So if I missed a further increase I would not be troubled. However if I hold and it retreats I would be up set that I was undisciplined...if you know what I mean. So what do you think...good odds to hold for awhile or take the profit and be happy. Thanks for you opinion...I realize I am totally responsible for my ultimate decision.

Q: Good afternoon 5i
I know you sell covered call options and so this question is related that. I have several covered calls coming due on April 19. I notice that I already have a profit of 75per cent. I have considered buying back the calls now and pocketing that profit and immediately selling another covered call, once again, for about a month out. I was wondering whether you ever do this, and if so, under what circumstances? Or, do you generally just let it ride to the date? When i look at things now, prices may be rising in the next while, and i might lose out on that profit if I wait.
Thanks for your great service

Q: You made the following comment in answer to Stephen R. April 5th: "On the other hand, BKNG tracks pretty closely with the health of consumer spending as its revenue source is directly related to travel spending, which is expected to experience a slowdown in the near term."
Could you please expand a bit on the theme of travel expected to experience a slowdown in the near term. Could you include your reason/sources for saying this and your definition of "near term" . As always, thank you.
