Q: There is no 30 Day time limit if you sell at a capital gain in the unregistered account and buy it right away in a tfsa? If you did have a capital loss. Does it make a difference if you bought first in the tfsa and then after sell your shares for a loss in the unregistered account?

Q: The beginning of January I plan to put $6000 in my wife’s TFSA and $ 6000 in my TFSA. The contribution will come from our joint savings account. I plan to buy for each of us 300 shs of VET. In the meantime I will be selling 600 shs of VET in my non registered account. Following this I will put the proceeds from the sale into our savings account. Is this any different from directly contributing the shares in our TFSA ?
My interpretation of this is that it would be a deemed disposition, and I won’t be able to claim a capital loss, but I would be able to claim a capital loss in the first instance above.
I know this is an accounting question, but if you prefer not to answer , maybe one of your subscribers is knowable enough to give an answer.

Q: Unless our shareholdings are registered , the brokerage company is usually the registered legal owner of the shares . We are the unregistered beneficial owner . The CIPF coverage is limited essentially to $1m per registered account and $1m per non registered account . That and CDIC is the only protection in the event of a loss as a direct result of a brokerage insolvency issue . This is about such a loss , not the probability of such a loss . This is not about the quality of the risk management systems in place . High net worth investors are not protected against such a loss . Dividing the portfolio among several brokerages is one awkward alternative . Registering the shares via the transfer agent and registrar for each holding would address the issue . Is that practicable for an investor ( not a trader ) with ( 25) holdings ? The industry is not transparent regarding this security custodial potentially huge issue for high net worth investors in Canadian capital markets . Confidence may be misplaced .

Q: Thank you for your response of Dec 9, but I am still a bit confused. The commentary provided by DOL indicates that for fiscal '20 they expect to have opened 60 - 70 new stores, and this appears to be without any contribution from their new acquisition, which in turn is expected to open 40 - 50 new stores (each year?) which is a growth rate of around 20 - 25% pa. And the forecast for the coming year repeats the new store openings of 60 - 70.... excluding any Dollarcity contribution?? So while I did not appreciate that their new acquisition was so much smaller in comparison to DOLs current assets the growth contribution from this purchase looks as though it has been quite heavily discounted. If you can clarify that would be nice. Thanks
Q: I sold FIW etf as I have the utilities exposure elsewhere. Is XYL attractive here in regards to earnings growth/stability/debt or should I look elsewhere for water exposure? Thanks.
Q: BOS seems to be turning positive with CIBC outperform rating. Would appreciate your view.
Q: Good afternoon folks
With a better China/US trade agreement which of these would you expect to do better from here? I own a bit of DOL but have watched DLRT for awhile now.
Thank you for a good year and all you do for us! You have "steered my ship" for over 5 years now! Happily I am up 60%. All by shaving at highs and buying at lows(mostly but of course not always). I only added just under 2% of new money.
Thank YOU and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Q: Why has ARE performed so poorly in comparison the others? Results have generally been positive. Should I stick it out or move on?
Q: Hello Team,
This stock has taken a large hit lately. With US/China trade looking more agreeable, do you feel this is a good entry point for this company.
Thank You,

Q: The stock has been dropping to the level where they announced their acquisition.
Is there any reason why the premium is now completely out?
Could the market sense GDI issuing shares at a lower price?
Thanks

Q: I rode this stock down a long ways and understand now I was also significantly overweight in it. In order to B/E it would have to recover another $10 or so. The dividend is hardly worth the paperwork now. Any suggestions as to how to address this? I have held it as an income earner and wonder if I shouldn’t sell and move into some of the smaller oil/gas players to improve returns and prospects. Thanks.
