Q: Hi !
If I hold a canadian stock paying a US dividend in a non-registered account what is the tax treatment regarding US withholding tax and Cdn income tax benefit ?
For exemple, should I hold Algonquin Power (AQN-t) in my non-registered account or in my RRIF or TFSA ?
Thank you for helping in my confusion,
Jacques, IDS

Q: Is there ETF covering communication sector which trade in Canadian currency and on TSX which you would recommend?
Buying US ETF after converting Canadian to US dollars would give the purchase ~ 30 % premium which would be not cost effective

Q: I've been sitting on Pan Orient for a few years now. I've suffered the oil blues during the sector meltdown but this one has done well this year at least. They've had a couple of recent oil discoveries on their Thailand concessions and are starting a new drilling effort for gas in Indonesia. I'm thinking they will soon be increasing their profit notably. Would you hold out for higher gains or dump and move on?

Q: Good day, 5i May I please have the names of profitable nickel producers from either Canada or the U.S. that you would consider for new buying. I would also be interested in an ETF.

Q: Would you update Knight;s share count following their buyback announced this summer? How many shares and floating shares are now outstanding?
Once they complete the purchase, do you think they will do a financing if they can get the share price back above ten dollars to finance possible future deals with their new company or possibly continue to pursue other deals.
Finally, how much cash will they be left with once they spend the $369M?
Thank you - very excited to see this deal!

Q: I understand that Softbank's WeWork troubles might require it to unload some of its Guardant Health stake, but: shouldn't this be priced-in (to Guardant's share price) by now? Or are the details of Softbank's response to WeWork so all-over-the-place that nobody can guesstimate the collateral damage? Or has Guardant's decline put it in an end-of-year tax-loss vortext, such that it doesn't matter, now, what Softbank does?
