Investment Q&A

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

Q: RBC analysts seems very positive on Discovery yet the share price is still down.
Trading at about the same level it was 5 years ago. I am losing patience but fearful I will sell just before this starts to take off (I have a history .... don't ask !!). I am down about 20% since purchasing in early 2021 at around $35.00 USD. If you owned this would you stick with it ? Any short term catalysts or concerns I need to consider ?

Q: I hold both in a non-registered account, and I'm always concerned about U.S. companies doing spin-outs, because it invariably requires an 86.1 election with the CRA, because the total value of the spin-out is included in the current year's T5. While the 86.1 election will defer the tax for another time, it requires paper-filing, including a letter with your tax return that explains what you're doing, and I'd rather avoid it if I could. Do you know if the new company that will be created with AT&T's assets will be spun-out to existing AT&T shareholders, or does AT&T just receive the $45B mentioned today, and that is it?
Thanks very much...
