Q: Hello not to scare some investors but can you explain what happened to conseco in 2002-2003 period and why goeasy is not in the same situation now with interest rates going up fast ? Thanks !
I read this morning that Steve Hudson founder of ECN recently purchased 500,000 shares. Would you read anything into this other than his belief in the business?
Q: I have a loss in CM which is matched by an equal gain in TD.
Was thinking to sell both and buying equal amounts of BNS and RY.
All are in a non registered account. Is the tax loss accepted?
Would you recommend any changes back after 30 days?
Q: Have not held a gold stock in over 30 years. Quite frankly never made sense to me. However, with the huge amount of debt floating arounds, and, especially in the USA, I am wondering if it might make sense to buy AEM as a hedge: pay a dividend and appear to increase on a regular basis.
Q: Good afternoon. I have the following tax loss selling question.
Let assume I sell 1000 shares of BCE on October 1. To avoid the superficial loss rule, I will wait 30 days to buy it back. Let’s assume this is November 1.
Then on October 15th, I sell another 1000 shares of BCE. As per the above, I will buy them back on November 15th.
The question I have is as follows - If I buy back the 1000 shares of BCE as planned on November 1st from the first tax loss sale, will this compromise my ability to claim a loss from the second sales of BCE shares on the 15th?
Q: Hello, I own both these stocks, down substantially, I am down 22% on BNS and 16% with BCE. All things remaining equal, would you be comfortable averaging down on the these stocks ?
Q: Big Surprise this AM with T/O proposal of NBLY. Or, was it? Pretty large premium so no competitive offers likely? Would appreciate your perspective.
Q: Any reason for the relentless sell down of the BIPC.UN/BIPC combo today (and of late as well)? Looks like some fund is either accumulating, or making a play for this Brookfield unit. You opinion?
Q: Most stocks are brutally hurt will it be a good idea to sell and buy proxy now rather than waiting for December Tax loss season,. Your suggestion for some stocks?.
Q: I am looking to purchase the specialty property REIT SUI and animal pharmaceutical ZTS stocks when the seemingly irrational downward trends settle. Do either have potential debt issues to consider that might explain their current valuations?
Q: Hi Gang, wondering if there will be an update report for capital power coming soon; looks like it's a yearly ritual ☺️. Till then, do you see this recent drop as a good leg in? I thought last qtr was a good report and company seems like it's executing it's strategy. Did I miss something or is this a reaction to higher for longer interest rates?
