Q: Regarding Ivan's Mar. 28 question about these ADR's: They are all UK domiciled corporations, and the UK has no tax on dividends. Therefore there is no dividend withholding tax, even in a non-registered account. This is one of the reasons I prefer to hold ADR's of UK-headquartered stocks for foreign content - I currently can't make use of the foreign tax credit. (BTI is another one.)

Q: Hi Peter & 5i, The above ADR's trade on US Exchanges among others,
whose dividends are passed on to Canadian investors without the dreadful withholding tax, even in taxable accounts. How would you rate them from good to not so good. Also your input on these and others that you can think of, would be appreciated. As always thanks for the great service. Ivan

Q: Hello,
I bought VEON as a purely speculative trade, with the intention of jumping out quickly on any decent gain. In your estimation is there anything fundamentally compelling about the stock that would suggest it is good for a long term hold? Or should my original plan hold? Thank-you.

Q: I started looking at NVO and I saw that you said it had a PE of 37X in answer to a question about it in December (2021). Yet TD (webbroker) shows earnings of about $50 going forward and not much less in the past year. So i was wondering where you got the number of 37X - should it be closer to 10X? What am I missing?

Q: Hi Peter

I have question regarding the following list of “fallen angels”. These ten stocks have achieved significant drops in valuation since Dec. 31, 2020. Can you please rank these “fallen angels” in terms of the best risk-return profile over a five-to-ten-year hold? Everyone likes a bargain! Sometimes it is possible to survive a falling knife particularly if you use tungsten as a shield!

We cannot all be superman!

Q: On March 9, 2022 Kim Bolton was on BNN Market Call discussing a past pick, Sony, bought on the ADR. He recommended Sony on March 31, 2021. The pick was down 8%. A one year chart shows Sony up 76%. Is the majority of the difference due to the exchange rate? If so, is the exchange rate likely to continue in this direction? If so, it might not be advisable to buy on the ADR at this time? Your opinion please.
Thank you for the great service!
