Q: I hold a significant position of ZWU ( less ZUT) for stability of the sector during crisis and stable dividends .ZWU holds around 40% of US stocks .In a non registered account, considering various factors: 1) NAV of ZWU is normally dropping over time 2) dividends are higher 3) no dividend tax credit for the US proportion 4) having a US proportion offers some kind of diversification : Alltogether would you consider one of those ETF a better choice for value + dividends? if not ,any ideal proportion of the 2 ? Many thanks ,JY

Q: Hi, can you please comment on their recent quarters?
Anything to be concerned about with either company going forward?
I have owned both for several years (full positions) but SIS has seen a bit of slow growth (for me) the last year and I'd like to reduce to a 1/2 position. Can you please suggest an alternate stock(s) (any sector) given today's environment that should offer better growth potential.

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Regarding the superficial loss question that V asked on March 5, in his case since they bought the stocks on Feb 3 and sold at a loss on Feb 10 ( i.e. less than 30 days), would it imply superficial loss by default?

Maybe they could buy the same stock again and adjust their ACB? What would be the rule that apply in this case regarding ACB adjustment, number of days, etc... ?
