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.

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: 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.
