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: Further to my question on the merger of this company, what happens to my canadian stock in this company. Will they be automatically be transfered to the new US company PRMB, or will I have to advise my broker to do this transfer. Also if I just want to sell my canadian stock in this company can I still do it or is it to late.

Q: I own these 2 stocks in a non-registered account. Can you please tell me what the trading status of these 2 stocks is and if they are still viable businesses. If it was you, would you continue to hold them in the hopes of a turnaround or write them off and take the loss.

Many thanks

Q: Dividend rates - stock seem to be popular when they have a high dividend rates . A stock paying 4% making a payout (will say quarterly), pays the 4% then the stock drops 4%, so what you get on one hand is taken away on the other. Basically, a growth stock would be a better play than a dividend stock. Please give me your opinion.

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?

Q: Any idea when A&W is going to confirm new dividend amounts? Are they supposed to be the same or similar?

Q: Are there any articles in your Bloomberg library or other sources that would be a good read featuring an unbiased { good luck } analysis of what the protectionist policies amount to be implemented in the USA may lead to ? I would love to know how this can possibly avoid spiking the rate of inflation.

Thank you

Q: I sold LMN on recent earnings/comments and the bump up in price. I was thinking of replacing it with TRI as a steady growth stock. What do you think? Any other ideas already own KXS, DSG, GOOG, AMZ, CSU, TOI. Also surprised TRI is classed in industrials. T Steve

Q: With the U.S. election behind us, and the increase in stock markets, what would you purchase today ? IWO or IWM ? Would you start a full position today ?

Q: Hi 5i
With reference to member S's questions on Nov 05....What is AC's current valuation?
Given 5i often talks about momentum in the market do you think AC can maintain current momentum?

Would 5I be more inclined to sell into the momentum..... and if you were hanging in what SP would you re-access that decision?
Is there some influence from US airlines potential bankruptcy, eg spirit airlines?


Not trying to pick top but looking to understand better the current push in share price.

thx

Q: What are your thoughts on the philosophy of a 3 etf portfolio (growth, dividend and foundational) from a retires point of that has the basic expenses covered by pension income. And some etf's you would consider candidates if you were to agree with this philosophy?

Q: I am needing to raise some cash and decided to trim my financials. I hold GSY (4.2%), V (5.6%), BNS (3.66%) , TD (3.65%), PRL(3.57%) and RY (2.51%) Total 23.19% My first thought is to eliminate BNS or TD. Alternatively I could eliminate both as I sense I am overweight financials with this basket. Given this mix which Bank would you lean towards eliminating, BNS or TD? Would you be comfortable letting them both go?

Q: I own these oil/gas companies. With everything that is going on in the world is it time to take profits and buy again later? Please rank for future profits best first. Buy, Hold, Sell

Thank you

Q: I would like to find an etf in Canadian dollars unhedged, for the s&p 500, and any other unhedged etf you might suggest

Q: Hi Team,
If I want to do the responsible thing and trim my overweight NVDA holdings; what names would you recommend me going into with the funds? Preferable a name with decent valuation with a higher prospect of considerable gains over the next few years, not something that is fully valued. Or is it a time to invest in something like CASH and wait for a pullback in markets? I was thinking either ISRG, CLBT, or BKNG. However, your response regarding ISRG to Garth today caught me a bit by surprise. You seemed to have turned from buying ISRG to hold off for now on valuation. I suspect the same could be said for many names that have ran up recently.

If CLBT is an option can you also give a brief lowdown of the company. Is there any concern it being based in Israel? Is the opportunity for high growth probable with this company? I am not real familiar with the name other than knowing you have lately been recommending it. Also is it a huge overhang that the CEO is leaving at year end?

Thanks,
shane.
