Q: I am following up on a question asked by Gary on December 6, 2019.

I am also looking to find an international dividend growing ETF similar to VIGI. I am not looking for high dividends per se. I do not like many of the international dividend ETFs due to their often high exposure to financials (IGRO would fit in this category).

IQD looks promising, and its methodology appeals to me. I would appreciate your advice about the pros and cons of this fund, and why you gave it only a very tepid recommendation.

What are your top dividend growing ETFs, regardless of whether they are Canadian or US ETFs. Per your previous answers, I understand your top two choices are VIGI and IGRO. Do you have any others?

Thank you again for your insightful advice.

Q: If LSPD has beat earnings expectations, do you attribute the share price weakness to the fact they raised their potential share offering up to 1 billion dollars? Is this a dilution fear that's causing the share weakness? If so... is the market wanting LSPD to grow organically as opposed to offering shares for aquisitions and such? Not sure what investors expect here?

Q: Hello,

I would appreciate your analysis of Brookfield Property Partners earnings announcement. I see that they have raised the quarterly dividend but by only a very MARGINAL amount. Dividend increases in each of the preceding 5 years averaged over 5% but this increase is less than 1%. Might that imply that management may be worried about the sustainability of the current dividend?

Q: Many thanks to Chris for his very helpful comments on the capital gains/loss issues I was struggling with. He is quite right that these were old losses. Was so focused on not breaking the rules that I completely missed the fact that it was only selling at a loss (not a gain) and re-buying before 30 days that was a concern. Great to have extra back up ! Although on any future government regs change issue, I always assume the worst. Still remember clearly the nasty Halloween surprise about the Unit Trust policy change (which gvt previously assured us wouldn't happen) and the subsequent overnight drop of 30% in those kind of holdings !!

Q: My wife holds a 1% position in GPMT and 5% positions in PEAK and TWO. She's finally up on a net basis with the three of them - in your opinion, are they worth holding or should she sell them all and use the funds elsewhere? Thank you.
