Q: Good Morning Peter & Team,

On November 3rd subscriber Peter' asked;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income please."

Your answer offered a number of suggestions all of which indeed generate good dividends but offer minimal (for the most part) in the way of capital gains.

Can you please tell me how your answer might have been different if the question had asked for;

"Top USD stocks for dividend income which have the potential for good growth/capital gains moving forward please."

Thanks for all you do

Q: They've had a great run, I've owned it for probably 10 years, and every time I think the story has stalled out, they seem to do another consequential acquisition. Blow-out numbers, particularly on the organic side, and raised dividend significantly. Do you see any issues with this one, or steady as it goes?
Thank you as always...

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

We need to increase our Telecom exposure in our non-registered account. Is Telus investable today for a long-term hold, or should we wait for a pullback? Alternatively, since we also need to increase our US exposure, would you be OK with VOX (or similar ETF) instead of T, or would tax consequences make VOX or another US-based ETF a poor choice in an unregistered account? As always, thanks for your valued advice.

Q: My question involves a Co. which has doubled in value and pays a 4% dividend.

Example Paid $5. per share with 4% dividend. Now Co. worth $10. so dividend
rate is now 8%.

Hold or sell the Co.? What is your rational on long term holds where the dividend effectively doubles with the doubling of the fmv of the stock?

Q: With the recent drop in price, would you consider BHP an ideal opportunity to take advantage of tax loss selling over the next few weeks? Do you still think the dividend payout is reasonably safe? I have not seen the "each representing two" statement before... pls. explain! I am 84 and wanting to add to my income portfolio.

Q: Looking at the concern over rising interest rates I took EIF as an example of the effect,
EIF has a dividend of approximately 5%, the equivalent interest rate would be in vicinity of 6%.
So if my calculations are right interest rates have a long way to go to have a material effect,
In this case also we have some growth and the possibility of acquisitions.
So should I be concerned about the effect of rising interest rates on EIF?
