Q: Interested in this for income. Noting RBC shows a 14% dividend while other sites show ~ 7% annual yield. Are you able to confirm the correct annual dividend % and provide feedback on this company and stability of dividend and chances for capital appreciation (or at least capital protection over next 5 years).

Q: Based on your last comments on June 24th about Sanofi could you please help me understand what's behind the recent drop with the stock recently and is this a good time to buy. Is it now at a "bargain" price what are the financial ratios you like and don't like about this stock? How do you feel about their pipeline of drugs?

Your last comment was SNY: Sanofi is a bit different than the others, being a $130 billion pharma company. The valuation fundamentals look fine, growth expectations are mid-to-low single digits on the top line and it pays a decent dividend. For an 'anchor' type of position, we would not take much issue with a name like this.

Q: NIO reported for July 2022 a 26.7% increase of electric vehicle deliveries over July 2021, plus a 22% cumulative increase for 2022 over 2021.
For China, NIO has installed 1,047 power swap stations as of end July 2022.
I think it has to be able to complete SEC filing which seems to mean an independent auditor.
The stock price has dropped by 2/3rds from a high of USD 66.
If the SEC issue is resolved, would you expect the stock to jump significantly?
What other concerns hold back the stock to grow?
Would you hang on to this stock until the SEC issue is clarified, or take the loss now and move on ? I don't mind waiting it out if there is reasonable hope for the stock to bounce.

Q: If one holds foreign companies via an ADR on the NYSE and the US dollar plummets, is the investor ‘protected’ in any way? Stock price? Dividend? I’m wondering what is the best way to hold investments in foreign companies.

Thanks…

Q: Just curious what you guys think of this company. Pretty large at around 9B Market Cap, and roughly 44,000 employees, founded in 1885. My source shows a Forward P/E
of 22.6x and a forward P/S of 2.3x.
Do you like this Company, for diversification, and would the price get cut in 1/2 during a recession, as they seem to do a lot of Quality Assurance.
Thanks Gord

Q: Not a question but rather a comment on the Q&A earlier today that included mention of TEF, the US ADR for Telefonica.

Investors should be aware that their final yield on dividends will be impacted by Spain’s Financial Transactions Tax, which is also levied on the ADR:
