Q: So, results released and not pretty. I took a small position in this April 2018 (1.75% of Non-Reg Acc) and have been watching slow decline ever since. With today's bad news stock is down to new 52-week low. Question is, should I hold on, bail, or "double-down"? The Board seems to taking corrective action; the dividend has been cut and is now quarterly. I can afford to wait in the area of 5 years. But, I'm not getting as paid as much to wait today as I was yesterday. Thoughts?
Thank you, as always. Michael

Q: I am little confused with your answer to Jerry regarding dividend from US Companies. It seems to me that Dividends from US stocks are reported as forigan income which is taxed similar to interest with no dividend tax credit. Could you please elaborate further on this? Thanks

Q: Hi, Equitable Group has been on a tear and Home Capital is close. Today's results were excellent and EQB has committed to increasing dividends 20-25% every year for next 5 years. Stabilizing housing/mortgage market and improving sentiment has been the primary reason helping this meteoric rise.
What is your opinion on this sector and would you support starting a position in either of these companies for a 5 year hold. If so, which one would you prefer, in terms of Valuation, ROC and Growth prospects? Thanks

Q: Hi guys, could you please give the recent short positions on EIF?
The company as you spoke to, flagged their Q3 earnings(to be released after close Thursday). Is the reason for this notice to provide transparency and therefore I still confidence?
The share price has run up considerably since their share issue, buy on rumours sell on news?
Cheers, have a good un.

Q: I understand that dividends on US-listed ETFs that hold US stocks, if held in a taxable account, are taxed as interest income. Would the same hold for individual US stocks?
Thank you

Q: Hello,

I would appreciate your analysis of Brookfield Property Partner's latest earnings announcement.

Since 2014 the company has been raising their annual dividend by approximately 5% per year. In your opinion; would the earnings and commentary from their latest quarter point to more or less of a likelihood that they might again raise the dividend by 5%, in the coming year? (i.e. - One more payout at $0.33 followed by a new, higher, dividend rate for 2020) <-- I realize you are only able to speculate on such matters but your educated guess would be appreciated.

Thank you
