Q: Are dividends on Bond ETFs taxable as interest? If so, they would not qualify for the dividend tax credit. Would it be wiser to look for dividend bearing shares such as BCE with a low beta and a good dividend that would qualify for the dividend tax credit?

Q: NYX Gaming continues to trade lower each day and yet there seem to be a number of positives on this company. First of all is there a short position on this company or is this decline due more to tax loss selling. Secondly TDWaterhouse shows a debt to capital ratio of 52%. Should I as a shareholder be concerned about this especially since I am considering buying more. TD also shows the cash flow as $0.31 and the price/cash flow as 5.4. Do you consider these adequate numbers to offset the debt load. Thirdly are these figures from TD reasonably accurate and if not could you please advise. Thanks as always for the excellent service that you provide.

Q: Hello Peter,
Your thoughts on PLI here at this recent swoon. Is this tax loss selling or Pli seasonality.

I have been averaging down positions from 2.80.

The street loves this stock, INK insider report has Company director buying millions in stock on open market at 2.40 Nov 30. I am at a loss with this drop. My Alaris AD has saved my portfolio while I wait for this spec stock to run. Should just get out now before this gets worse. Broke support at 2.26 and bouncing on new ST support at 2.05.
Thank you again Cameron and Cheers from New Delhi IN. It's warm here and no snow

Q: After the stock price of DH rose significantly and then dropped back today, trading has been halted, presumably because of the company's news release that, "a process has been established by its Board of Directors, including the formation of a Special Committee of independent Directors, to address expressions of interest from certain third parties to acquire DH. No formal offers have been received and there can be no assurances that any transaction will result from this process."

Once the situation is clarified please comment on the implications for holders of this stock. Thank you.

Q: In a reply today, you suggested a swap of SJ for MX for quality. In the past five years, MX is up 182% and SJ is double at 363%. Am I missing something here?. You recently added MX to your Balanced Equity portfolio and I would like to follow it but lack the cash right now. SJ is certainly "correcting" but is still in your portfolio. Are you expecting softer returns going forward?

Q: Since your last question and answer on MEG, he stock has dropped from $20 to $7.75 just as you predicted - GREAT CALL. The stock seems to have bottomed out and appears to be showing signs of life. The stock has increased in price by 15% in December so far. Do you think taking a position is still too risky?

Thank you for your advice.

Q: I'm down 26% in D.UN and down 88% in ALL, a tungsten co. D.UN has been moving up somewhat lately. Either will provide a tax loss of about $2,500. If I sell D.UN I recoup about $7,000 to allocate anew. A sell of ALL recoups only $300. I'm concerned a US interest rate will knock D.UN & REITS back a bit and a 2nd rate hike spring/summer will really push them down. ALL finally has the Korean tungsten mining play going forward it seems, so maybe some hope for price increase in 2017. Sell one? Sell both? Thanks 5i.
