Q: "TC Energy intends that the initial combined dividends of the two companies will be equivalent to TC Energy’s annual dividend immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, and that over time the combined value of the two companies’ dividends is expected to remain consistent. Dividends will be at the discretion of the respective boards of directors of each company following the Transaction."
Does that mean they will split the dividend? e.g. old dividend 8%. New dividend 4% each company?

Q: I would like to increase my exposure to US large cap healthcare, currently own PFE and ISRG.

Q: I received these preferred shares with the Brookfield change over. I don’t have much of an understanding of preferred’s and would like you to educate me. There's a rating system out on preferred shares so how does this one rank? I understand they are good for income and I currently get $1.5625 US per share, does this dividend ever go up or down? I’m also down over 30% since I received them, will they recover one day and how long will that take(I thought preferred shares were a safer investment vehicle)? Is there a life span on this or can I hold forever? How do interest rates affect preferred shares? I assume when interest rates go up the then I can expect the principle amount goes down as it did in this case🤔 Thank you

Q: On or about July 22 Inmode and ISRG had quite a tumble. I added to ISRG and bought Inmode. They are not participating with this rally. They are still at the lows on the date recently mentioned. You know more about these 2 stocks than I do. Is there any reason no one seems to be interested in them? Thank you again,

Q: Your thoughts on EEM? Is there a Canadian equivalent?

Thanks

Q: Can you please help me with calculating NextEra Energy’s payout ratio. I have been using the annual dividend per share divided by the adjusted EPS. So for 2023, I expect it to be between 60% and 63%, as they expect adjusted earnings to be in the $2.98 to $3.13 range. And they are paying $0.4675 per quarter or $1.87 annually. If I use EPS before adjustments, the payout ratio jumps, and if I use cashflow from operations it drops. Is adjusted EPS the best number to be using? I keep reading that NEE has a conservative payout ratio, would you agree? Thanks for your help.

Q: CJ announced Q2 Financial & Operating results. I am confused that Prod Vol only dropped 700 boe of about 22000 boe. But the Revenue dropped 40% compared to 2022 Q2 along with other financial components. I am surprised with such mismatch but market seems to ignore it. Please review and advise what am I missing here.
