RE:RE:RE:Ecn capital gains implication question.
Blueswin asked "why not wait until the dividend is paid & the share price drops the $7.50?"
Look at the following possibility:
Dividend is payable January 2022 and goes ex-dividend mid December 2021
Someone buying 1,000 shares today would receive a dividend of $7,500 in 2022. If such buyer is a senior living in Ontario (for example) no tax is actually payable on "eligible" dividend income up to about $40,000 a year (thanks in large part to the dividend tax credits - both federal and provincial)
Now, that same buyer could sell the shares in late December (after it goes ex-dividend) at a loss of $7.50 per share so (give or take a bit). That capital loss of $7,500 could be used to offset other capital gains in 2021.
As stated above, this is a possibility. We will know more once the record and payment dates have been made public by ECN.
