Q: We just received notice from our broker Questrade. Some securities, notably LPs will be affected by an extra tax on dividends, and a 10% witholding tax on sales of said securities. The list, https://email.questrade.com/NDE1LVRSVS0xMzEAAAGI2aUK0lRlxgseeoLC1Eghn1II_fBto39UgUhfF225XXBg6TyuY3qXPyY6am5dK1dIACvlnN0=
is quite large and include even names like Lazard,LAZ which i believed was a regular trading stock.
Will that affect holdings in RSP accounts? Is there to be a rush to the exits from a number of these? If it affects holdings only in regular investment accounts, would it be a good opportunity to to catch a few discounted names in a registered account?
Sorry for a lengthy and intricate question.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Q: I would like your help putting together a yield portfolio of between 15 and 20 names.
This would be the entire investments for my wife and I. We are both retired and now live full-time in the U.S. And at some point I expect my Canadian newspaper pension to disappear, so I am looking to replace that money.
I would like your opinion of the above names with regard to safety of the income and overall diversification.
I would also appreciate some additional ideas and would like to know if I`m off base on any or all of these names.
I am currently only invested in CM, BNS and BMO and DIR.UN.
Please take 20 credits (or more).
Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance.

Q: This came up in a screen I ran.
Both my wife(U.S. citizen) and I are retired and have moved to the southern U,S.
Is this something that would work in her IRA?
And would your concerns outweigh the nice income it provides?

Q: Good morning your thoughts Mplx
