• iShares S&P Global Consumer Discretionary Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XCD $64.21)
  • $64.21 P/E (TTM): 23.63X Cap: $73M
  • View XCD Profile
  • View Questions on XCD

Q: Is the current yield 1.32% less the 0.65% MER or is the yield after the MER has been taken out? The yield seems low. Is there another ETF in the same Consumer Discretionary sector which has a higher yield?

Usually when companies have a low dividend they are often growth companies. Does this ETF behave in the same growth like fashion?

If I understand correctly XCD is CAD hedged. Are there any US ETF's in the same sector which are not currency hedged?

Thank-you.

Q: I am having trouble finding the answer to my tax question. I hope you can help. My husband and I were joint owners of a rental building which we sold in 2016. There are considerable capital gains. I have realized capital losses from past years (from sale of shares)that I can apply to my portion of the capital gains. Can I transfer some of these to my husband to apply to his portion of the capital gains on the rental building? He does not have any capital losses. Thank you for your help.

I realize you do not cover USA stocks! I do not need any in-depth analysis. The stock spiked up 15.7% today and I do not see any announcements. I am wondering if they got a new contract or just because Europe may have better economic growth. Can you see anything on the "wire"?

Q: Hi,

I recently sold cineplex for a nice gain in a taxable account, and i am holding
Sylogist with a loss almost equal to my gain on cineplex.
I am thinking I should sell my Sylogist to offset part
of my capital gain on Cineplex with a view to buying back
Sylogist (or not) after 30 days. Is there anything wrong with this plan ? If Sylogist is till not performing after 30 days would Vermillion (VET) make a suitable replacement. My only other energy holding is PKI (sorry the name escapes me right now)

Thank you gor considering my question and your advice.

Thank you
