Re: GST-B One more issue with GST-B is that it is expected that the dividends will be characterized as ROC (return of capital). This could be a positive or a negative, depending on your individual situation. In my case, it is a positive, since I have carryforwards of capital losses, so capital gains are especially attractive to me. With GST-B, not only has the actual price appreciated, but I won't pay taxes on the dividends since they will just add to the capital gains. I probably will still sell my GST-B and invest elsewhere, but the decision is more complicated because of the ROC characteristics of the dividend.
