Investment Q&A

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

Q: My TD Waterhouse account used to show a calculated yield based on the current price of UMAX and HMAX but for some reason shows no yield for UMAX and 10.8% for HMAX now ...... Yahoo Finance isn't much better . And the Hamilton website shows 13% and 15.5% no matter what the ETF price is ..... So the first question is what is the calculated yield for both at today's price ? And second what would be the unit price for my targeted entry point of both 14% and 14.5% for UMAX { still making up my mind on UMAX entry price } .... and 16.5% for HMAX ? With rising rates hurting utlities and banks in the doghouse I'm inclined to think I might get those entry points .....

Q: Hello

Is BN like a Canadian version of BRK.B.

With the major difference BN pays a small dividend and breaks up its assets like BAM.

Would you own both or do you prefer one over the other.

Thank you.

Mike

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: 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: 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?
