Q: I have 100 shares of googl which presently is showing a loss of approx. $3400. Today I bought 200 shares of goog and would like to sell the googl for the tax loss, can I do this tomorrow and qualify for the tax loss? Because the buy today is goog and the sell of googl does this have any implication re the tax loss?

Q: I’ve finally broken even on NVDA. Their Q4 comes out later this month and I’m nervous since it’s up substantially from the dramatic low in October. Any disappointments and it will probably be hit hard.

If you owned NVDA what would you do? Ride out the report and hold on or sell, watch the reaction and reassess?
Thanks

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. Happy owner of CDZ. I just saw the new asset allocation effective Jan 31/23. I believe they reconstitute the ETF annually. Pretty big change in the finance %. It jumped from 24% to 30%.

Am I correct that this has to do with some of their constituent holdings not meeting the required criteria of increasing their dividend over the past year? I have gone through their website and am trying to figure out what criteria they use to select their individual holdings and how they design their sector allocations. Can you help me understand this a little better?

Thanks for your help...much appreciated...Steve

Q: I hold a small position in NTR (74 shares). It is doing well for me (up $3,000). I would like to enter into a full postion but note that expected earnings will fall for 2023. Zim was doing well due to Covid shipping rates being raised, but soon fell way below the high leaving many with major losses. It may seem that NTR may follow a similar pattern having improved due to results during Covid. As Covid diminishes so will the stock earnings.
Question: Is NTR a buy to increase a position or a sell to scrape whatever earnings and to move on to something else? If moving on please suggest other dividend opportunities in Basic Materials. I am a 77 year old dividend value investor with some growth.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

A while back you recommended this as an ETF with a very low mer . I believe the MER was .1 of 1%?. I have two questions

1. Is this an actively managed ETF or just an index replica based on market cap of the stocks owned?
2. For RESP's just starting out, is this a good way to gain the health care allocation as opposed to picking "the winning horse" due to trading fees ?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello Peter & Team

I hold a full position + 25% (ENB) in my TFSA because of the Dividend and a comfortable feeling of capital integrity/safety. In your recent report you cite the DEBT/EBIDTA ratio runs at about 4.7% for ENB where net debt-to-EBITDA ratios of less than 3 are considered acceptable.

Is something I should be concerned about? Would you recommend holding fast with this position? (really like the dividend) And lastly, is there anything you would recommend (all things considered) in place of ENB?

Thanks for all you do
