Q: Hello 5i Research,
When holding US dividend paying stocks there is a 15% with holding tax applied to any dividends held outside an RSP.

If the after tax dividend rate on the US dividend is equal to a Canadian dividend, is there any tax advantage, as the with holding tax has already been paid on the US dividend.
Thanks.

Q: A recent article suggested that stocks newly added to the TSX composite index may see a price bump due to buying by index funds. Have you seen evidence to support this thesis for past additions? The three securities added this time are: Norbord (NBD); Dundee Int'l REIT (DI.UN); Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (RBA). You've expressed generally positive opinions about these three in the past. What are your views now, either in the context of their being added to the index or simply on their own merits. Thank-you.

Q: To increase the return of my financial equities I'm thinking of selling all my ZWB (BMO Covered Call Banks) and replacing it with an equal amount of TD and BNS. Is a 12 month total return of 8% reasonable? Thanks for the fantastic service. Paul

Q: I have small positions in the ETFs CGL and SVR. Down in both, and am wondering if it might be a good plan to replace them with G and SLW, thinking that any gains in gold and silver might be levered by the producers. I am holding for the long term. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim

Q: The price of XRB has increased as rates have trended lower and has recently decreased with the threat of higher rates. This seems counter intuitive for a floating rate instrument which should in part act as an inflation hedge. Am I missing something and is XRB now at an attractive level?

Q: Good Evening 5i
I have had a nice run with JP Morgan (30%) and wonder if you see more upside with the American Banks.? I was considering initiating exposure to the auto sector by way of Magna or AutoCanada and wondered what your viewpoint was on selling JP or lightening my position in either Horizon or Western One. Or should I just hold the course.

Thank you
