Q: question - if I sell a TSX listed stock through an on line broker on Dec 28, is it considered a capital gain/loss in 2017 or 2018? The settlement date is, in theory, not for 2 trading days later, Jan 2, so does that make it a 2018 capital gain/loss?

Q: Humble comments as I see them.CEO Steve Hudson is described by a respected guest on BNN as"a wonderful guy in promoting things",who was supported by the investment community.However his light has dimmed somewhat since the very big acquisition of the GE leasing assets(now spinned out to EFN) as he overpromised & underdelivered/performance below expectations.Hudson is more suited to ECN than ENF as shown by appreciation in ECN & depreciation in ENF since split.Reportedly Hudson& his management team draw very big salaries(maybe too high compared to performance) but they always buy back shares for many years.While he did not acquire co after promotion,he indicated that he will buy in 2018.Stay tuned.
Q: I currently own full positions in both these stocks in an unregistered account. In January I will be able to move about $35K of one or the other into my TFSA. I see both as having very good chances of a substantial gain in the next year or two. Which would you move, in considering the impact of a large capital gain for the one I keep in the unregistered account? I do not see either as a long-term keeper at this point, so I foresee the sale of both in 1 to 3 years, moving into something perhaps more conservative .
Thanks!

Q: My mother has recently been invited by a friend she trusts to buy into a local privately traded Marijuana Grow Op Company, which comes with a 30-40% tax credit through CEDF. I have concerns about whether she'd be able to sell whenever she likes, not to mention the (apparently) high-ish risk. But I wanted to check with you: Are there any circumstances under which such a move would be advisable? And if not, would you advise buying into a publicly traded marijuana company at this moment, and if so which one? WEED? I might add that it is also quite hilarious, from the perspective of my former teenage self, to find myself in a position of advising my mother on investing in WEED.
Q: I normally can find answers to my questions by reviewing past questions but when I ask for questions on DS I get nothing. Not even the notice that there are no questions.
Anyway, I am retired and interested mainly in yearly income. I own DS and happily collect the dividend. But, can you explain how they can pay a 10% return when they hold stocks yielding less than 5%. Is the remainder return on capital or are they selling covered calls?
Thanks
Don

Q: Hello 5i team,
On the one hand, you suggest to have some exposure in all sectors; yet, after the recent changes, the Balanced Equity has 0% in RE, Telcos and Utilities.
Please explain,
Antoine

Q: Great show on BNN. As always Peter was to the point,sharp and candid. (CPG for example).
I was surprised that GUD didn't make it to the top picks . Any reason why? It figured prominently in the year end tax loss selling based buys. Always gets a good recommendation in Q&A. Yet didn't make it to the top 3.

Q: TFSAs and RRSPs. Are you able to sell a stock one day, and rebuy the next, or is there a waiting period as in non-registered accounts.
Q: Not sure why so many subscribers seem concerned over ECN at $3.80, I am looking for $3.60 so I can load up but even at today's level it's a no brainer buy.
Q: By letting my winners run to overweight positions, while recognizing the importance of overall sector allocations, I am in a constant debate with myself feeling the need to rebalance. My question is regarding 3 sectors with the backdrop of assuming we are in a rising interest rate environment. Currently having a 10% Utility weight, with 0% Real Estate and Telco's, would you suggest trimming Utilities to acquire one or both sectors, if so what names would you suggest? If rates rise faster than expected, will all 3 sectors perform similar ? I watch my portfolio very close, am quite comfortable with higher risk for higher return.
Q: I am looking at adding a US reit, i see that this is off by 20% it's high, but still going down, nice dividend too. Upon checking latest qtr. report , they only had around $61,000 damage in the Texas hurricane. Also good insider buying at higher prices. What does the market not like here?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Q: Where can I find a complete list of new highs for stocks on the tsx?
