Q: So, after the market closed yesterday, PLC announced they were withdrawing any further involvement in the purchase of Carriage. I would have expected today to be a "down" day...due to the perception that PLC would not be "growing" as per their stated 5 year plan of growth by acquisition (my paraphrase).

However, today PLC is up 4%. Is it due to the market being relieved that PLC is better off not having to add debt to their balance sheet?

A bit confused...thanks...Steve

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.

Read Answer Asked by James on October 03, 2023

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?
