Q: Do the dividends of BIP.UN and BIP (US), both qualify as allowable taxable dividends in Canada? Right now I own BIP.UN in a registered CDN$ account but am thinking of switching to BIP (US) in a US$ Cash acnt. And in general is it best to keep a Canadian stock like CSU, which also pays its dividend in US$, in a US$ acnt so that the dividends don't have to get converted each time even though I will have to convert, one time, my total CSU holdings into US$ ?
Much appreciated. Great service!

Q: I looked at OSB(Norbord) and CFP(Canfor) and see that CFP is out preforming others in the field. At present I own CanWel CWX. Of the three which would be your choice? Thanks in advance.

There seems to be flood of info. on each stock and this is where I get confused.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I would like to comment your reply to Ian’s question regarding DYA.
I have been a shareholder for almost a year now, and I have to counter your inference that DYA’s future success is questionable in terms of the advent of hybrid and electric vehicles, and specifically cars, or gas fueled vehicles. I find this response a bit lacking, in that DYA’s technology targets the reduction of emissions from Diesel Engines, and by default the trucking industry which is a long way away from converting to EV technology. The recent testing was to test the HydraGEN™ HG1 unit, and what was preliminary, were the test results of emission reduction of Carbon Monoxide, Total Hydrocarbons, and Mono- Nitrogen oxides. The reductions were well over expectations, with the deadliest of the gases, specifically Mono-Nitrogen (NOx) being reduced by over 46%. The details can be viewed on DYA’s website. The next stage of testing will be to determine fuel efficiency; which could not be determined on the preliminary testing but results are due in 4 to 6 weeks. As well, there has been some speculation towards the possibility of applying the same technology towards the heavier polluters such as Ships, whose emission levels are astronomical in terms of carbon output. I felt the need to share this info as I don’t think your response accurately qualified the potential of DYA’s technology. Speculative sure, but certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Thank you,
Rick
