Investment Q&A

Q: Shaw Communications Inc. were not sold. These shares were redeemed.

Do I still have to pay capital gains in my invest/cash account?

Thank you.

Q: WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE BUYING SHAW TODAY WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER AT ROGERS BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE BOARD? 5 DOLLAR DISCOUNT TO THE OFFER AT THIS TIME. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE THANKYOU

Q: Your thoughts on Shaw? Jason Mann feels the market is discounting the possible deal too much.

Q: Why is Roger's offer for Shaw's class A shares the same as class B even though they trade at different prices?

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. A question earlier today has motivated me to finally ask this question....been thinking of it for quite a while. It had to do with potential rising interest rates and your response was that dividend investors should be prepared for a bumpy ride in the short term (my paraphrase of your answer).

I own the above securities and for the most part trim-add around core positions that I hold for the long term. Is it possible to divide the above securities into two camps....one that would be "ok" in a rising interest rate environment and the other that I should consider trimming a bit or maybe selling? I am ok riding things out for the long term and do not normally react to short term volatility.

Thanks for your help....Steve
