Q: You are probably going to be bombarded with questions re ECN in the next few days. Here is mine. According to the information circular , of the $7.50 payout, $4.15 is a return of capital and $3.35 a special dividend. In my non-registered account, if I paid $3.00 per share does that translate that my cost per share is zero?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

Follow up to Earls question (Thanks Earl), but for a non-registered account.

If I buy ECN now at $11. Once I get the $7.50 dividend, say the stock drops by $7.50. Wouldn't it result in a capital loss of $7.50 a share (if I sell it) that I can offset against capital gains? Sounds like it would be smart thing to do. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks

Q: This stock has performed well over time but in mid May there was a significant drop in price but recovered then recently another significant drop. I know they are experiencing cost issues and ask if this stock will recover or continue to suffered significant stock price reductions? Is this still a long term hold?

Q: Hi 5i,
I am overweight utilities and underweight consumer defensive. I am thinking of selling AQN and buying AW.UN. The two stocks pay a similar dividend which is important to me. Do you feel the growth opportunities are stronger with AW.UN than AQN over the next several years? Thanks.
