Q: What is your opinion of the Motley Fool 100 index ETF ticker TMFC ? It looks like they just copied QQQ holdings/weightings with a few minor adjustments.

Q: I have another question about the proposed deal to buy part of Gear and spin out the rest into a new company. Dave in his question on december 5th made it sound that us existing share holder will get 61 cents per share and 1 for 3 shares in the new company. The way I read the press release on the Gear website it is 61 cents or 1 for 3 shares in the new company. I hope Dave is right because then the current value of Gear shares is much greater. How do you read it? Is it and or or? Also what happens if the mail strike is prolonged and we don't get this circular in the mail. My email is full of so much junk that I could easily miss an email from Gear Energy and not vote. I think I am not the only one who would miss it. Also I know how to go to sedar's clunky website and look for stuff but everyone might not know/or want to do that. It seems a little fishy/stinky that this is being presented during a mail strike and they want to finalize this quickly (Jan or Feb). If Cenovous is the buyer then they will be able to take advantage of all the tax pools that Gear accumulated from their years of losses. If so they can pay more than $110 million for 3500ish BOE of production. Heck that is only a little over $30,000 per flowing barrel plus the benefit of using the tax pools. I understand why the purchaser wants this to go through quickly!!!!

Q: What are your thoughts on DHR as a long term play in the healthcare space? Stock seems to be unloved for the past couple of years after fantastic long term performance. It's spin off of Veralto created value but wondering what is the next catalyst for this stock / company?

It seems punished due to concerns on China but the company reinstated its buy back program last quarter and I would assume that since the stock is even lower they are seeing value and purchasing shares.

Is this a good position to continue holding and even adding at today's prices?

For my 2025 TFSA contribution, I will be adding to existing holdings as listed above. In what order might a person add to these three companies. I note the 6% drop in EQB today.
Thank you very much as always

Q: With yesterday’s drubbing following their results release, I have about a $12k capital loss on my TD non-registered holdings. I am an income investor and TD’s next ex-dividend date is Jan 10. If I sold my shares today, I could then repurchase them as early as Jan 6 and not put the loss at risk….correct? I have gains across pretty much all the rest of my holdings so picking up the loss now vs the potential price increase over the next 30 days seems an ok risk….do you agree?
