Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am a 60+ retired income investor,

I consider the above noted equities to be my riskiest holdings.

About 1,000 each - mostly in my cash account.

I understand SYZ reduced its dividend today and of course the issues with AQN.

Still up on AQN. Underwater on all the rest.

Looking for some advice - sell or hold by holding?

And of course any general comments would be appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Q: I plan on journalling these stocks to my US account because the dividends are paid in $US. However, I am confused as to the appropriate listing name for BEP.UN on the NYSE as it appears to be the same as the one for BEPC, namely BEP. Is that correct?

Secondly, can you switch BEP.CA to BEP.UN:CA (or vice versa) in a non-registered account without the transaction being considered a disposition for tax purposes?

Appreciate your insight.

Do you see the stock price and dividend eventually recovering with the overall market, or is this long term troubles specific to the company? Do you see the company recovering post Ukraine war?

Q: I have the same company in a RIF account and in a Margin Account. If I sell shares in the Margin Account for Tax Loss or Capital Gain, do I need to take the Cost Base from the RIF Account and the Margin Account together. My opinion is, that whatever is in the RIF Account does not influence the Cost Base in the Margin Account. What is correct?
Thank you!
Albert
