Q: It is very interesting to me that Cineplex has bought WorldGaming. I can see theaters as being a venue for online gambling. What other reasons might Cineplex have for this purchase? Licenses? Software? Could this be serious competition to Amaya?

Q: I have a "tax" question for you.
I'm thinking of selling BTE with a $10,000 loss. I don't have any realized capital gains to offset the loss, and don't want to dispose of any of my gainers, but I don't want to carry the loss forward either.
So I'm wondering: Could I crystallize the equivalent in gains by selling BCE shares, for instance, and then buying them back immediately?
I'm aware that the superficial loss rules would come into play by not waiting 30 days, but that shouldn't be a concern with a stock like BCE.
I also realize that there may be a small cost involved with commissions and price spreads, but at the same time my ACB would be reset at the new BCE purchase price and may well save me some cap. gains taxes down the road.
What do you think?

Q: Hi guys,
I'm a Dow shareholder, and while I know your focus is not US, I was wondering if you could offer some clarity on the upcoming merger/sale of Dow's chlorine division with/to Olin Corp. The prospectus talks of exchanging Dow shares for "Splitco" shares, into Olin shares ...
Any clarity and advise you can offer is much appreciated.

Q: I originally bought these preferred shares for income. I knew that there was a risk if interest rates moved up, but I never envisioned the volatility that this stock would have this past year. If I am still investing for income, do you see the current stock price and high yield as an opportunity to buy more shares to improve my yield in my portfolio?
Q: Today, Barbara asked you for the name of five companies you would consider a buy in the oil sector. I noticed that you didn't include WCP. Does this mean you don't think it is a buy at this time? I currently have no oil exposure and was thinking of starting with WCP.
Q: Hi Peter & Team,
I plan on taking a sabbatical for a year after working overseas for 10 years. I have 1 mill. approx CAD to invest and want to live off dividends, travel and not worry about my portfolio. Therefore I want a SWAN portfolio and am thinking the following:
Financials 20% (BNS, TD, RY, BMO) - Avg Yield- 4.4%
Pipeline/Utilities 20% (ALA, AQN, ENF, IPL) - Avg Yield- 5.52%
Telecoms 20% (BCE, T) 4.4%
REITS 20% (CSH.UN, AX.UN, HR.UN, CAR.UN) - Avg yield - 6%
Energy 20% (WCP, CPG, HSE, TOG) - Avg Yield - 7%
Average Yield - 5.46%
As an non-resident I simply pay 25% tax and therefore would have a budget of $41,000/yr or $3,400/month.
What risks am I not considering with the above?
Are my stocks and sector weightings reasonable?

Q: I'm a long-time holder of FRU having weathered its stock price plunge from the 20s to 9-ish as well as suffering at least two dividend cuts. Notwithstanding today's relief, I believe it's time to move on. I am trying to avoid vehicles such as FRU that spring these surprise cuts on investors who rely on dividend income. Would you agree with my move and where would you suggest I go to replace income from FRU?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hello,
The newly issued Inspira is trading at 0.5X loan book. I was wondering what you thought of the company, if 0.5X is cheap, and where you see the stock price going. If the management can get the company to a 500 million loan book, what prediction would you have for the stock price. Also, any update on what the loan book is at now? There seems to be little communication from the management team. Thanks
