Q: With yesterday’s drubbing following their results release, I have about a $12k capital loss on my TD non-registered holdings. I am an income investor and TD’s next ex-dividend date is Jan 10. If I sold my shares today, I could then repurchase them as early as Jan 6 and not put the loss at risk….correct? I have gains across pretty much all the rest of my holdings so picking up the loss now vs the potential price increase over the next 30 days seems an ok risk….do you agree?

Q: I was reading online about how Citron Research has been charged with pumping and dumping stocks before. They are currently tweeting positive things about this stock (even though they are a short seller). What do you think is the likelihood of them putting out a short report and shorting it after their positive tweets?

Q: Hello, with the overall stock market reflecting a historically high valuation I would like to rotate some of my profits into a few safer names, ideally with relatively lower down-side risk and/or that pays a healthy dividend so I can receive some income in he interim. I appreciate that trying to time the market carries its own risks i.e. it could take a while. What names would you recommend?

Q: I have owned GSY for a good number of years and it has been very profitable over the long term. The share price turned negative at the end of July 2024, with a bigger set back in mid October. Many analysts have a positive outlook, though Morningstar has a price target of $152 (about 10% below its current share price) and CFRA recommends selling. The CEO is on his way out. Its last earnings results seemed quite strong, yet the share price continued to decline, and forward estimates seem to be lower.

While my patience is being tested, I am mindful you have observed that one should assess a stock's performance over the long term ie over a number of years, not just a couple of quarters.

But everything is relative....is there a better place for my investment dollars, or would you hang in? Do you see any catalyst that will turn this ship around?

Many thanks for your excellent service.
