Q: I am starting to plan for year end tax losses taking. Although these companies pay good dividends, I have capital losses greater than the dividend income. Do you have any thoughts on the potential of these companies to recover in 2024.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Please rank the stocks above for tax loss selling purposes. Are they all worth buying after 30 days? (All are down, but T and TCN are really down.)

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on the recent earnings? I don't see any comments on it yet.

Also I see previously you replied on Oct 3rd "No dividend is ever guaranteed, but BCE has a very solid record. 12-month payout ratio is less than 50% on operating cash flow."

Can you provide me some insight on why you referenced operating cash flow and not (levered) free cash flow? Is this because BCE has a capex intensive business at times and its free cash flow can vary significantly quarter to quarter and year to year or are there other reasons? Thanks

Q: I have some US$ and want to buy BEPC:US. I held BEP:US and a few years ago and faced higher taxes on dividends and maybe capital gains from the US with a partnership - can you confirm this will not be the case with BEPC:US? I also just bought BCE:US - can you please confirm that I will still get the Canadian dividend tax credit for with BCE:US and BEPC:US.
Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
I am down 20% with BCE and 19% with ENB. Would this be a good time to crystallise my capital loss?
Do you see a short term rebound?
If I sell, would you be re-entering these two after the 30 days or move to something else?
Thanks

Q: Hi folks,
I am looking at topping up to a full position in either Telus, BCE or ENB. This will be in my TFSA account. Can you recommend one that not only will have some growth when interest rates peak but the dividend will remain intact as well.
Thanks

Q: Good day all,

Is their enough room in BCE to grow it's price with more % than Telus over the next year or so. Or in your opinion do you see Telus regaining all its lost ground. I am actually looking at a trade from T to BCE and wonder if it is worthwhile.

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & team: Long time member- Great service - Thank You!
With regards to Hans' question about Brian Acker's views on Market call- I took it as more of an issue about when cash dividends in $ paid out per share are greater than EPS. Brian used BCE and ENB as examples of an early sign of trouble and one should avoid such situations. You have handled this in the past (very well) Can you provide us a refresher on the opposing view ? If I remember correctly the net is basically "dividends out greater than EPS is OK, but not forever " Thanks in advance.
