Q: Here I go again. I'm seeking your help to identify strong companies in Canada and the United States in the right sectors in the new Trump era that demonstrate 'relative safety' yet the potential to grow significantly. A bit of a reach. But I would appreciate your help to identify 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that could fit the bill. I have a relatively short time horizon - 3 years. Thanks for your appreciated support.

Q: Hello

I noted in one of your responses that Brookfield Corp pays dividend in USD.
If so, do we have to hold the stock in USD Currency, in order to receive dividends in USD ?

Also, are the USD Dividends received from Brookfield Corp, eligible for Canadian Dividend Tax Credit or the dividends have to be received in CAD, in order to qualify for the Tax Credit ? ( So, we should move the BN to CAD side of the portfolio ? ).

Thank You

Q: One member, Auftar, mentioned that they plan to keep BCE and Telus in their soon-to-be-converted RRIF portfolio because the high dividend yields from these stocks will help manage the RRIF withdrawal rate. With BCE and Telus offering dividends of 10% and 7% respectively, assuming no cuts, these stocks can provide a solid return for annual RRIF withdrawals.

My question is: Is holding high dividend stocks in a RRIF a good strategy in both stable and volatile markets? Even if my portfolio value drops, I will still receive dividends for my RRIF withdrawals each year. Am I correct?
