Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi, I tend to shy away from companies that have ROC , because I do my own taxes and cannot be bothered with figuring out my capital gain or loss with ROC.
Are a lot more companies relying on ROC to keep investors happy with higher yields? Not sure which companies actually use it, they don’t really tell you. And does my bank broker service (investors edge) calculate my average cost when I sell?
I have no problem doing my own taxes and do not want to pay $250+ because of ROC
Your thoughts, thanks

Q: Both GWO and PWF are offering to buy back shares, is it my understanding that agreeing to sell to them through my BMO investorline account (self directed) that I don't know what price I am getting?

That doesn't make any sense to me. Why would anyone agree to sell for an unknown price, dictated by the company?

How do you think share prices will behave in the next 1 to 2 weeks with this hanging in the air ?

Q: Hi there 5i. With a pending takeover; I am wondering if there is an opportune time to sell my shares in GS or if I should hang onto them in the event there is an increase in value or a trade off in shares of the buyer, or are there other options? I am currently down approx. 13%. Thank You so much for your excellent service. Glynn

Q: Curious to hear your thoughts on starting a position in Markel (about a 3% position). The stock has got beaten up lately and from what I've read some of this weakness seems to be from the Equities they hold being down with the rest of the market when they reported earnings last. Many of these have recovered well. It looks like a good US stock for a TFSA because it doesn't pay a dividend. Planning to hold for 15+ years.
