Investment Q&A

Q: In respect to Paul's question, non-eligible dividends are not taxed the same as interest income. As an example, for 2019 the top Ontario tax rate on interest income is 53.53% whereas the top Ontario tax rate on non-eligible dividends is 47.40%. By comparison the top Ontario tax rate on eligible dividends is 39.34%. I'm not aware of why A&W pays out eligible versus non-eligible dividends. TaxTips.ca has a good site for those that want to review tax rates on dividends, interest, etc. at different levels of personal income.

Q: 9:59 AM 4/4/2019
Could you please explain why A&W's dividend is a "Non-Eligible" dividend and what this means. How is it taxed? Presumably it does not qualify for the dividend tax credit.
Thank you........ Paul K

Do you have a feel for how long a proxy fight and all the goings on at GUD will rumble on before settling down ?
You'll have had more experience with these kind of events than I have.

Q: If the deemed value of the shares issued is $13.10 - why the big dip today down to a close of $10.91. Obviously the market does not believe the assets are worth the value implied by the deemed value of $13.10. I'm guessing this is due to the size of the transaction and associated risks.
Thanks

Q: Cineplex is something I understand as a movie-goer.

My question is two-fold:
1) Are they doing enough to diversify their business outside of the core film theatre business?
2) Is their dividend at risk?

Q: With an cost base of around $15.00 I have a large tax bill if I sell my position in this company. However PBH seems to have lost momentum and has a low dividend now, so I would like to sell and move to something else. The tax bite means of course I have less to re-invest. To sell or not? Any advice ? Investor paralysis I guess. Thanks, Ron

Q: Hi, What will be the new no. of outstanding shares for Savaria, with 5 mln new shares issued and the insider ownership ( Mr Bouroussa and family, with addition of 71,000 committed from new issue) ? Based on 2019 guidance, and taking into account this dilution, what will be the pay out ratio ? Is this dividend 3.5 cents/month sustainable, in your view ? While no one likes a secondary at $14.15 after an issue at $16.60, a year ago, on a positive note, company could pay down a large portion of $101 mln debt, thus strengthening the balance sheet. Is there a silver lining and stock is worth adding at current level for 3% dividend yield and growth ? Also, is there a lock-in period of 4 months for the new shares from April 22, the expected closing date of secondary? Could it place more pressure on the stock, down the road ? Thank You
