Q: Hi 5i,
I'm not sure this is an appropriate question to ask but, here goes.
I was considering purchasing AMT for my TFSA and NonReg accounts.
Can you help explain the taxation issues I need to be aware of for each account. (capital gains and losses, distributions, dividends etc.
I understand that the taxation issues for a US REIT may be different from a US stock.
Thanks

Q: I have a 2/3 position in MDT whose share price has fallen much more than I expected due to a product recall. Was the said recall bad enough to warrant such a drop? I am tempted to top up my position. I hesitate, thinking there must be some bad news out there that I am unaware of. Is there?

MDT seems to have high trailing P/E probably due to elective surgery being postponed. Do you have the following: PEG; fwd P/E; ROE; ROCI ?

I also wonder if my views towards MDT are biased because I see it on the AAII dividend model portfolio; on a BAC top picks (issued a couple of weeks ago); and because it seems to have been a reasonably good dividend grower.

I own eqx and someone told me about SKE because of its supposed quality and cost production. But if I'm not mistaken it's just one mine? Do you happen to know how much gold they actually have to mine, mining life?

Thanks for the great service. If you have better recommendations please list them. I'm a long term holder and high risk tolerance.

Q: Thanks for your answer but I was really looking for the best time to ‘sell’ not buy, as I have capital gains to shelter, and some ‘losers’ to offset them.

Q: Is there a ‘best time’ for tax loss selling? Many Chinese stocks are candidates for this but will everyone pile in on the last week of December, driving the price even lower? Vs everyone buys them between now and year end , as they are considered ‘undervalued’?
