Q: Re: Paul's question concerning eligible dividends & domicile of company.
Thank you for your response earlier today to my question concerning TRL. I looked at their website, and they state that their dividends are "eligible" for the Canadian dividend tax credit. However, they are headquartered in Bellevue WA. Shouldn't that make them an American company?

On the other hand, they also state elsewhere on their website that they "complet[ed] a qualifying transaction with Alignvest Acquisition Corporation, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company or SPAC." Would that then make them a Canadian company for tax purposes?

Would I need to include my TRL investments on the Revenue Canada T1135 foreign property declaration form?

Q: I wanted to follow up on Harold's question as I am looking to add this REIT with the PRV I currently hold.

Partners website has the Payout Ratio (Distribution/ACFO) at 95.6% as per Q1 2017 which is higher than the 83% you mentioned so I was hoping for some clarification. Is it 83% on AFFO and if so what is the better measurement metric for REITS, AFFO or AFCO?
I also notice the NAV according to the company is $4.45 however the historical stock charts are not good, do you see them creating that value in the share price?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
GMP Capital hit a new annual low today on tremendous volume. I guess it is heavily correlated to the price of oil? If so can I expect it to fall further if oil does? I hate selling at the bottom...maybe on a green bounce...no harm or great risk in holding for awhile? Please give your current opinion.

Q: Can you tell me what the earnings per share have been for Richard's Packaging for the previous 12 months and if it is a reasonable expectation to have that earnings per share number climb by 10% for the 12 months going forward?

Also, what does Richard's Packaging debt profile currently look like?

Thanks.

Q: Could you confirm that dividends of companies domiciled in Canada, regardless of the exchange they are listed on, and paid and received in US dollars still qualify for the Canadian dividend tax credit? As such, I assume that there would not be any US withholding tax (non-reg accounts). It would only be the US dividends from US corporations that would have 15% withheld?

Thank you.

Q: My broker has approached me to purchase the convertible debentures of Automotive Finco Corp He thinks that it close to another Carfinco

The yield is very tempting

What are your thoughts They have just increased the dividend Do they have the cash flow to support the dividend Would the common stock be less risky

Would Autocanada be a better buy

I would appreciate your insight

Q: My question is about oil. I am thinking of buying an oil company if the oil price gets back down to $40. Is this a good idea and do you have a suggestion for a good company to buy?
