Q: CXI(TSX) is deemed a foreign investment, as it is domiciled in the US. I guess I should have noticed that before I bought it. Would that affect which account one should buy it in( registered or not), with respect to US withholding tax etc.? Also useful to note this for the 100K foreign reporting requirements.

Q: Hi Guys,
A quick clarification on QST, I thought that the EPA in the USA mandated the new stringent environmental regulations for 2015? In other words I was under the impression that O&G companies had to curtail emissions this year and therefore falling oil prices shouldn't have a negative impact on their business if companies are forced by law to implement emission controls this year. Thank-you

Q: In following your recent dividend info webinar, I'm trying to find the financial ratios you suggested to track the stock's performance -ie payout ratio, for starters. When I look on Qtrade to get the 2014 financials, I see the free cash flow is $132 Million, the dividend is $1.28 X 81 million shares = $104 Million, that makes the payout ratio $104million/$132 million = 78%, which is high according to your webinar comments. Am I performing this calculation correctly? Is there a better place to go to get stock financials than Qtrade?
Thanks for your reply....Jim

Q: Gamehost's share price seems to be moving down with the price of oil because they are tied to the Alberta economy. Assuming the worst, a prolonged recession of several years, would GH survive? would they maintain their divvy? GH seems like a great contraian pick with a good div. I already own a small position and would like to add. My portfolio is diversified in both geography and sector. Your advice please. Thank You

Q: HiPeter
I know you are high on this stock and guessing you are looking at the big drop as buying opportunity. Other than a few larger caps like CTC,MG,CNQ, I do not buy larger quantities if dividends are under 3%. That is the effective rate now at $8 per share. If the stock went back up to $10 or more,do you anticipate raising dividends to get to that rate or do you believe I will adequately rewarded otherwise(share price appreciation and dividend annually averaging more than a 5% yield on what you call an income stock)
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you believe McDonald's current woes are reflective of the fast food industry as a whole or do you think it's more specific to that company? I've been eyeing a&w for a while but am not sure about the whole fast food industry with more health conscious consumers.

Thanks in advance!
