Investment Q&A

Q: With regard to several questions asked about tax loss selling and the 30 day rule. The usual advice is that you will lose the capital loss if you rebuy the stock within 30 days after the sale. This is not accurate. While you cannot use or claim the capital loss, if you repurchase within the 30 day period the capital loss is added to your adjusted cost base and can be claimed when you eventually sell the stock the 2nd time. The bottom line is you are best making your decisions for investment purposes and not solely for tax reasons. I hope this helps those who are anxiously waiting for their 30 day period to end while watching the stock go up. Best of the season to everyone.

Q: The closed end fund (inc.un) has declined substantially in the past month but I can find no reason for the decline. The Quadravest site has no news and a couple of the funds holdings that I looked at showed no corresponding fall. Any idea what brought about this marked decline?

Q: Example Nortel - Can I still do a capital loss after"gifting" to TDW registered account?

Q: Hi there, just a comment regarding QTRH, on Dec 7 you stated they are in search for a CEO, I believe they announced earlier in the week the following;
Quarterhill Appoints Douglas Parker as CEO, 04 Dec 2017
Quarterhill (QTRH) said Monday it has appointed Douglas Parker to the CEO post, Shaun McEwan who has been interim CEO for approximately seven months. Prior to joining the company, Parker was senior VP of corporate development at Canadian firm Open Text Corporation. McEwan will return to his prior position of CFO, effective Jan 1.

This may get interesting now, I hope!

Peter/Ryan, I believe formerly an A rated stock (formerly WIN) at 5i, and removed from portfolios, and burnt may times by former management due to mis-guidance and mis-management!
Maybe now is the time for QTRH, with new CEO, imported from Open Text!
Another two good quarters, and maybe it can try out the third portfolio, Growth! haha
Thanks!

PS: should jump up slightly today if Benj Gallander picks it again as his top pick on BNN, for members who are interested in it! I believe he fallen in love with it, picked it two times in a row already as one of his top picks! Third time the charm!!

How do you think the euro zone stock markets will perform compared to the US market over the next 6 months? My only exposure to a European company is Garmin; which i bought after reading your piece , in Globe and Mail.

Q: A few new issues have passed my screen lately . I seem to recall that your strategy is to give it some time to settle ... It appears that IPO issue "Software Platform Partners Corp. " is not selling as well as the recent Emera , Ag Growth, Fiera issues ... Do you have any feelings about this stock and what it does . Does one wait or does this look good to you . Thanks , Tom

Q: Further to the questions on the cease trading orders being attached to accounts, I have one company - Nortel - in a registered account that I can "gift" to TD. While I don't think this company is coming back from the grave, how can one be sure there is no possibility of further activity? I would like to get rid of it as I don't need a daily reminder of this transaction!

Great job on the improvements. Continue to appreciate your insights.
