Q: Hi everyone,
Since BEP, BIP are based in Bermuda and declare foreign income, is there any witholding tax in a RRSP on the income received from their stocks or preferred shares? You mentioned this link before: https://bep.brookfield.com/stock-and-distribution/tax-information , but it does not mention RRSP specifically. Same question for TFSA …

Will it change with the creation of BEP & BIP canadian corp.?
Thanks

Q: I'm looking into selling my remaining small position in CHE.UN (0.3% of the portfolio) either now or after they report Feb 14... a 'pulling the weeds' exercise.

To help decide on the timing could you please provide the Bloomberg EPS estimates for the latest quarter (reporting Feb 14) and for the next FY. Or you may provide a rational for pulling this weed now rather than trying to get a few more dollars out of a potential bump from a Q report!

Thanks.

Q: Good Morning 5i, I am a long term holder of FTS and I know you like the stock. My intention is to hold forever and I have enjoyed the 25% increase in share price in the past year. However it now yields 3.3%.
My assumption is most holders buy this stock (and utilities in general) for yield, so at 3.3% where would the new buyers come from?
Also, are you able to run the historical yield? Is 3.3% the lowest yield ever for this stock and how does it currently compare to its historical P/E and other metrics.
Thanks
Rob

Q: This question is about covered call strategies. I know that your mission is primarily to gibe advice on individual stocks but you are often good enough to share your knowledge on other points, as well. So, i will submit this question. If it doesn't fit into your framework, that's ok, too.

I know thatyou like to sell covered calls a month out. If i don't have any intention of owning the stock, i imagine that it doesn't really matter if i buy the stock one month, collect the option and then buy the same stock back again a month later at a higher price. Because i am only interested in collecting money on the money i have. Right? ( i am doing thisin a tfsa. I have googled it but haven't found a definitive answer on whether I can do this there? Am i ok with that? ). If i am going month by month is it better to take a lower payout, knowing that you are more likely to have to give up the stock, or go a couple of dollars less in the premium payout in order to have a higher possibility of keeping the stock, realising that this is a monthly process? a number of questions here so please feel free to subtract the appropriate number of points, if you decide to answer.
Thanks again for your grat service
