Episode notes
Transferring Shares
- Transfer shares to potentially avoid capital gains tax instead of selling and transferring cash.
- Ensure all details match between accounts to prevent transfer issues.
Share Buybacks
- Companies offer buybacks for various reasons, including increasing share price and tax efficiency.
- Buyback notifications don't obligate you to sell; consider market conditions.

- Consider brokerage fees and your comfort level when picking your DCA frequency.
