Q: Just an additional answer to those who are interested in ADR'S as a way to diversify. Re costs, yes there are some. Eg, in my registered account, on my BP dividend, I get charged a fee on each dividend payout. Equates to 1.5% of the amount paid. I take it this is the local institutions custody and processing fee. Yet to see on UL but will likely be similar

Q: Hello,
I own these 2 stocks. If the US-SEC delists Chinese stocks, will I be able to sell them, and will the value be close to current value or "zero" ?. Do you recommend to exit now?
Thanks
Carlo

Q: Regarding Ivan's Mar. 28 question about these ADR's: They are all UK domiciled corporations, and the UK has no tax on dividends. Therefore there is no dividend withholding tax, even in a non-registered account. This is one of the reasons I prefer to hold ADR's of UK-headquartered stocks for foreign content - I currently can't make use of the foreign tax credit. (BTI is another one.)

Q: Hi Peter & 5i, The above ADR's trade on US Exchanges among others,
whose dividends are passed on to Canadian investors without the dreadful withholding tax, even in taxable accounts. How would you rate them from good to not so good. Also your input on these and others that you can think of, would be appreciated. As always thanks for the great service. Ivan

Q: Hello,
I bought VEON as a purely speculative trade, with the intention of jumping out quickly on any decent gain. In your estimation is there anything fundamentally compelling about the stock that would suggest it is good for a long term hold? Or should my original plan hold? Thank-you.

Q: I started looking at NVO and I saw that you said it had a PE of 37X in answer to a question about it in December (2021). Yet TD (webbroker) shows earnings of about $50 going forward and not much less in the past year. So i was wondering where you got the number of 37X - should it be closer to 10X? What am I missing?
