Q: Hello Peter, with Alphabet's huge cash hoard and pressure on the company to control expenses, do you expect they might institute a dividend soon? Should they? Would the market reward that decision with a price increase, do you think?
Also, despite paying a premium of several extra dollars when I bought GOOGL (not GOOG) several years ago, I'm chagrined to see that my GOOGL shares now trade at several dollars less. Given that the GOOGL shares have voting rights that the GOOGs don't, I'm a bit puzzled. Do you think the old premium will return at some point?

Q: Hello
I have an 18% gain in BEP.UN in a non registered account. I received the spin out shares in BEPC. Is there any tax advantage in selling the BEP.UN shares and buying the equivalent BEPC shares? Meaning, despite the cap tax gain hit, will the future taxation in BEPC be more advantageous over BEP.UN?

Also I recently bought GOOG C shares maybe by mistake. Is there any advantage to sell them and buy the A shares instead?

Thanks

Q: I have both GOOG and GOOGL . I used to see the voting stock GOOGL trade above the non-voting GOOG. Lately however prices have reversed . This morning for example the voting shares are some $7 BELOW the non-voting class. This strikes one as odd, notwithstanding that votes have little meaning in companies where founders have controlling blocks. Has something changed in the definitions of the Classes? I did not see anything in the financial journals.

Q: What is the long term risk of the massive antitrust investigation by the US states on GOOG. I know this game has been played several times and had no significanct effect on tech companies, but this time seems different as all US states are involved. I have only 2% position but wondering if I should add on pull back.

Q: These are the US holdings in my RSP. All have done well except for SYK down about 8% with a limited outlook for the rest of 2020 based on the Covid pandemic. Regardless of sector weighting, what are your favorite 2 or 3 US equities for growth over the next 5 years? I'm okay with a moderate risk.
Thanks in advance,
Greg.

Q: In response to the question by Satish, your suggestion was to look at tech growth stocks for a faster recovery. I had been considering TTD, NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL ,AMZN, COST and UTX before the correction; waiting for pullback. While UTX and COST have held up the others have dropped by varying degrees.
Could you please suggest your order of preference to buy in this volatile period.
As always, value your opinion.
Regards
