Q: Good morning,General tax question.Bought US shares in 2012 at exchange rate of 1.0008 and sold in 2014 at rate of the day of 1.1074. Do I adjust the cost at rate of day and sales price at rate of day before calculating gain/loss or calculate gain/loss and convert that figure only at rate of day of sale?
Makes a big difference! Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter,
I friend of mine recently recommended DGS. With a yield of over 13% and having paid this dividend since 2007 would this be a good stock to own. Thank you for your help.

Q: Great service! Just a thought, I know your Coverage Summary is crowded, but it would be good to see where the company falls within your Portfolios. In other words, create a heading called Portfolio and in the company's corresponding cell, put the Portfolio name in which it resides.

Q: Peter and team:
I have watched this one from the sidelines for some time now. It is currently on a bit of a roll. Your last comment on CCO was back in Feb. Is there anything driving the current upward trend, and What are your thoughts on this stock as a 5 year+ investment? Is the 800 mil. potential back tax a real issue?

Thanks
Phil

Q: I'm looking at the debentures. I thought I read that the new issue will be added to last years debentures, is it just one debenture - CSU.DB? The way this is structured with the 5 year notice, if notice is given, would the principal be paid back at 100 after 5 years, I don't fully understand the may redeem "at a price equal to the principal thereof and accrued and unpaid interest.....". Would interest rate increases move the price of the debenture down a lot because it is 2040? Would this be good to buy right here at $122 with the intention of holding for 5-10 years and then selling?

Q: Hi Peter, Over the next couple months I'll be building a $100K+ portfolio split between my trading acct and $35K TFSA. I wish to choose about 20 positions (across 5 sectors) using picks from the Growth and Model portfolios. My time frame is 5+ years. With this goal in mind, are there 5 or 6 stocks you would suggest directing specifically toward the TFSA? And why? Many thx.
