Q: Happy Holidays to everyone. I called my broker (cibc) to ask about the ECN dividend and ROC . They just called back to say it won't be paid until Dec 24 and will not be reflected in my account until Dec. 29. This is not what I hoped for, but perhaps the answer is helpful to others looking for this cash

Q: Even after ROC I would still be showing a deficit on capital gain. Tax loss opportunity before December 31?

Q: What is you expected "reasonable" ECN share price after it pays out the $7.50 per share to shareholders?

The reason why I ask is because is my ECN share are held in my RRIF account and I can't take that money out. I was entertaining the thought of just reinvesting that money into the newly "shrunken" down ECN shares - as long as it will be traded at a reasonable price.

Thanks.

Q: A few years ago in Investor Suite there was an article suggesting that the best performing Canadian Bank for next year is the worst performing bank from this year.

When I did this for 2021, the worst performer of 2020 was BNS. (Am up 27% on this investment YTD) As you are closing down shop on the 24th, I am asking this question earlier than usual.

What is the WORST performing Canadian Bank of 2021 YTD?

Thanks

Sheldon

Ps Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Q: Hi 5i
Regarding your answer to my previous question regarding BMO deal to buy Bank of the West, it was not clear if you would be buyers of BMO at the current price or better to wait. Share price continues its slide this morning.

If better to wait, then at what price would you be interested.

Thx
Jim

Q: Dear 5i,
Is it possible that SQUARE/BLOCK paid 10 times too much for AFTERPAY?
(Paid $29B, but value was $3B)
Assuming SQ did pay too much, how long would it take for the company to recover? Is this a broken stock, or company?
Happy holidays to all and thanks for all the great answers.
