Q: Brian Acker was on Market Call on September 26. He was asked about some high dividend payers such as BCE and ENB. He said that these high dividends reduce the book value of these stocks, so that in effect one is not really getting a true high yield.
Can you explain this or have a comment?
Thank you, Cheers

Q: Thoughts before they report tomorrow? I know high inventory was an issue but I understand that they do an annual "warehouse sale" in August... should the presumed decrease in inventory overcome the haircut they'll take on the sales in terms of market reaction?

I'm asking you to predict the future a bit here, I know.

For an RRSP hold long term 10+years which of these would you prefer? What are the differences between these FTT & TIH company? In your opinion which as the stronger management and most upside? Both have contracts with CAT would they have similar deals with CAT for sales?

Q: I think there may be some confusion about my previous question re VFV and also a question posed by umedali.
I may have misunderstand, but you seem to imply that VFV would undergo double taxation (withholding) because it is an etf that holds another etf. Is that what you mean by a “second level” of tax?
I am not sure this is correct. The etf being held by VFV would be U.S. domiciled, which would not be subject to tax on the dividends it receives from U.S. companies. However, VFV, being Canadian, would be subject to tax on the flow through of dividends to it from the underlying etf. Then, after this, the dividends should flow through to a Canadian holder without further tax, since it is from a Canadian listed etf. So only one round of taxation. Unfortunately, they call it “level 2” taxation in that link you provided, which is about the most ambiguous label they could have possibly come up with.
As far as I can tell, double taxation would only come into play if the underlying etf held by VFV itself held foreign securities (ex European stocks).
Apologize if I’ve got this all wrong, it’s not very clear on the Vanguard website imo.
