Q: TRP’s share volume in NY was 108% above daily average volume today. Is this related to conversion of preferred shares to common? Share price has also declined for several months. Is TRC a good addition to a portfolio that is overly aggressive, and where the investor wants to add some securities to make things less uneven? What are TRP’s prospects vs. KMI and ET. Do you prefer either of KMI and ET over TRP (ignoring dividend tax credit) ?

Q: Good evening!
Looking to add to my portfolio, and these are all high dividend payers. Could you rank them with regard to safety (primarily preservation of capital with low chance of potential problems on any visible horizon), and then also rank them from best grower to worst grower? Please take credits you think are fair.
Thanks! Paul K

Q: I'm looking for a stable long term hold with some growth and a generous dividend to complement my Enbridge holding? These are all US holdings, do I have to worry about special withholding taxes? Are they suitable for RRSP's?

Q: Concerning limited partnerships like Energy Transfer , your suggested this lately: "there is withholding tax on distributions plus a 10% tax on proceeds from dispositions. In addition, there are multiple US forms that need to be filled out’".I do own the ETF AMLP in my RRSP ,and just received the dividend : there was no witholding tax or any other taxation , and the dividend did match exactly what is announced.Any explanation, plus are there forms to be filled out ?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Could you please review the three listed US Oil & Gas midstream companies which are not MLPs?

Please rank in order which would be the best company(s) for allocation of capital.

Are there any other US C-Corporation midstream companies which I should be reviewing?

These would be held in a US dollar denominated RRSP account for long term growth and income.

Thank you

Q: Below is an email from Interactive Brokers.
"As a result of recent US legislation under Internal Revenue Code Section 1446(f), gross proceeds from sales of and certain distributions from Publicly Traded Partnerships ("PTPs") held by non-US tax residents (both individuals and entities) will be subject to 10% withholding starting on January 1, 2023."

It is not clear to me that the 10% withholding tax is on the distributions only or 10 % tax will also be applicable to the total proceeds amount when I sell it ?
The company involved in my case is ET but can also be applicable to other publicly traded partnerships.
Thanks for looking into this.

Q: On February 1 2022, ET:us was added to RBC-Capital’s “ Global Energy Best Ideas”. ALA:ca is also on that list (ENB:us is not). Do you agree with this call or are you lukewarm and colder? Ratios: I am getting widely different numbers on FORWARD P/E , PEG, ROE, ROCI. Although I am referring to premium sites, the data is widely divergent. What do you have for each of the above ratios please?

Q: I "discovered" today that ET dividend was reduced of 37% in my RRSP since it is a US LP (limited partnership).Is BIP " LP" In my RRSP taxed the same way ? I guess and hope not, since it is not a "US LP" .I sold ET to Buy KO+PG instead ,at least no more tax on dividends and more stability ! thanks all for points of vue .

Q: I hold ET in a registered account, and as it is a MLP I've had non-resident taxes withheld from dividends. They have indicated that they will likely convert to a c-corporation, and I'm wondering how that would affect the withholding tax on distributions, and if that would automatically mean a lower distribution.
