Q: Hi Peter,
Is US dividend stocks suitable for RRIF with no withholding tax? My thinking is that US dividend does not receive any tax benefits in non registered account and is taxed like interest income. With on-shoring and tariffs, US inflation will not eased too much, and may go up again in the next few years. Hence, interest rate will not be much lower and consumers spending will be weaker for longer. Giving this scenario, and for my RRIF account, what will be your top picks for US dividend paying stocks with solid balance sheets, that will able to maintain their share price and dividend payments through a mild recession? Thanks.

Q: Was just about to step in to my first purchase of NEE when they make a big equity sale announcement at $50? Am I getting that right? The stock trades at $69 today. That seems extreme. The news release is very hard for me to decipher. Can you explain this in layman's terms and whether this is good or bad for today's valuation? Would you step in here or wait for things to settle down?

Q: I was watching an interview with David Rosenberg and Ed Devland. They were stating that the Canadian interest rates are going to have to be cut several times due to economic conditions. Can you recommend investment strategies to benefit from this . For example bonds going up in value because of the inverse relationship of interest rates and bond values. What bond etf's ect. Can you give US recommendations also, as it sounds like the Us will be later than Canada.

Thanks

Q: Based on my TD Webroker Analyst ratings, ANGIE STOROZYNSKI and Analyst with Seaport Global has a 4.5 star rating as a result of her PERFORMANCE WIN-LOSS RATE
84 Out of 128 Successful Ratings(66%) and an Average Return Per Rating
+12.0%

Now I know generally we're not supposed to take analyst ratings that much into account with maybe the exception of "..are the analysts ratings trending up or down".

Is that the theory I should be be taking with analysts ratings? What's 5i philosopy on analysts ratings and do you take note of any prominent analysts in the investment field?

Those questions aside Neil Kalton from Wells Fargo with a similar rating but an average of half of Angie's came out with a rating for Nextera Energy NEE on the same day as her. His is for a target price of $85 and hers is for $44. It seems mind boggling how two analysts can have both and upside of 30% percent and a downside of 30% on the same stock on the same day being the most recent analyst opinions on the stock??? What is your price point for NEE today, Is it a buy, sell or hold. What price would you get in at because I'd like to average down on the position I have on it now. Thanks for the help to clear things up.

Hope everyone has a good Easter Weekend.

Cheers
