Q: When I look at cash flows from utilities, they also seem to show a negative cash flow. In general terms, how do they run there business if they are always in the negative ? Are they always looking to the bond and/or stock market to pay for their huge capex spending ?

Vanguard U.S. Dividend Appreciation Index ETF (VGG)
Q: Is there another good Canadian-listed ETF similar to VGG? I need another one or two so I don’t exceed exposure in a single ETF. Anything based on the S&P is not ideal as I already have a fair bit of technology exposure.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: Regarding Robert's question this morning about withholding taxes on foreign dividends:
It is my understanding that there are no withholding taxes on the dividends of companies headquartered in the U.K.
I have never had taxes withheld on my U.K. holdings (BTI, BP, AZN). RIO plc is also headquartered in the U.K.

Brookfield Renewable Corporation Class A Exchangeable Subordinate Voting Shares (BEPC)
Q: The BEP.UN/BEPC combo has been on life support entering 2021. It seems the entire renewable energy sector is in the same boat. Can you recommend other similar type of companies or sector I can consider a transfer? Perhaps the electric generators or electric utilities with similar yields and growth prospects? Thanks.
Q: Both SU and PKI have under performed. I am considering selling my small position in PKI and buying SU as it may have more potential, and right now a similar dividend. Thoughts?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hi, what does Return on Equity can tell us? Is it an efficient indicator of stock long-term performance? e.g. MO's ROE is very high as 149%, but stock price is flat for many years, could you explain why? BTW, should I use ROA instead of ROE? Thank you for your great service!
Q: I have a small profit on KEY but I've been disappointed in the lack of growth recently and I was wondering if I could do better with PPL. Yields are about the same but I would prefer more growth. I already have lots of ENB and TRP in a well diversified portfolio. Appreciate your thoughts.

If so, should I use some cash on hand or sell BEP which I am only up 10% on?

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ)
Q: Hi team,
I bought Verizon two years ago in expectation of a stable price and a good dividend. Two years later it is down 11% eating up the dividend and leaving me essentially where I started. Would it make sense to sell VZ and use the funds to buy IBM which has a similar dividend and perhaps some growth potential? I can also claim the tax loss on Verizon.
