Q: Hi folks, I would like you to reco some good dividend ETFs in the Candian space that you think are potentially a good buy for now. By 'good', I meant the company should have solid fundamentals, and the price should be low so the yield is high. I do not expect the US tech to boom forever, I would rather reap my 7 to 8% percent and hope it last forever. Thanks :) Tony

Q: I am wondering about the risk to APR's dividend, given that they have triple net leases..
The yield is over 20%. Do you expect that a number of tenants who operate the dealerships may go out of business or otherwise declare bankruptcy? If one assumes that this economic contraction should not last more than a year, and there would be pent up demand, would dealerships give up on the business or would most be expected to cut expenses and just try to get to the other side?

i realize they haven't increased their dividend, but at 20+%, its a moot issue.

Should I take a bite now or wait to see the next quarters results?

Q: I sold some securities today in my personal account at a loss to offset some CG's I had. I know I can't buy the shares back for 30 days in my personal account; but do you know if can I buy the same security in a Corporate account that I own?

Q: Of these 9 equities + ETFS, which would you see as reasonable to hold on to if one believes there is a prospect of recovering from the current economic storm from the virus? Some have been held for a long time are still positive, most are down; TOU is the worst (85% drop) and is now very small. They are held in a registered account, so tax loss selling is not an issue. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Thanks for your work, much appreciated. Regarding dividends from Canadian banks: I have problems figuring they won’t cut. The crisis will take months or most likely 1-2 years (vaccine is the only definitive solution, what we are doing now is only mitigation). The debt load will be very large (mortgage, loans, etc.). Banks will have to keep some money for provision.
Am I missing something ?

Q: DFN, the high-dividend split share fund that people sometimes ask about, has missed its first dividend since its inception in 2004. It even paid the monthly dividend throughout 2008-09. I see the share price is up this morning. I don't think people realize they will not receive the dividend and that it could be many months or even years before the dividend returns.
