Q: My CNQ is down $1400 today. Is it time to replace it with a top up of CVX and XOM? Shoiuld NXF-B also be replaced? It may not seem to be affected by the Venezuela takeover as there are no Canadian companies being held. Please take as many credits as required.
As an addendum to my previous question, NXF-B may indeed hold Canadian oil co. Thus is it a sell now due to the Venezuelan takeover? If so please suggest a replacement. Eighty year old value dividend investor. I also gol CVX and XOM. Just add to those?
Thank you

Q: With the United States interim (??) takeover of Venezuela, what US publicly listed interests do you see as benefitting. Initial thoughts are the obvious oil and related infrastructure companies, shipping co's etc. Additionally, what companies have the capacity to handle extraction, refining etc the heavy grade that Venezuela pumps (if refined elsewhere)? Please offer brief thoughts and a short list of US blue chip dividend payers that will benefit. Also state if there are US companies that have outstanding arbitration awards.

Q: Good Morning,

I am a retired income investor who recently received a small $40k USD inheritance.
I would like to purchase US dividend paying equities (for geographic exposure) but am concerned about the withholding tax.

Is there any vehicle available to avoid or lessen the tax? I have no room in my registered account.

What are you highest conviction US stocks with plus 4% yield and some growth potential.?

Thanks Dave
