Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi, I tend to shy away from companies that have ROC , because I do my own taxes and cannot be bothered with figuring out my capital gain or loss with ROC.
Are a lot more companies relying on ROC to keep investors happy with higher yields? Not sure which companies actually use it, they don’t really tell you. And does my bank broker service (investors edge) calculate my average cost when I sell?
I have no problem doing my own taxes and do not want to pay $250+ because of ROC
Your thoughts, thanks

Q: I'm thinking of investing in this company. Considering the slow down in the economy, consumer high debt in Canada and possible upcoming recession, I think this is one of the few consumer discretionary companies that might not be too affected. Your thoughts on this company, please.
Many thanks for your great service!
