Q: Just a follow-up to Les’ question about finding total returns for a company. Doesn’t the 5i interactive graph just show the percentage increase in share price, not total returns including dividends?

Q: Good morning,
I own a 3% position in BIPC and smaller positions in BBUC and BBU.UN. I was thinking of selling all three and adding to BN before the split. I also own BEP.UN.,BAM, BEPC and BN. This is in non -reg account. Since they are relatively small gains, taxes are not an issue. Thanks, Paul

Q: Would you throw some light on “ provision for credit losses “ ( PCL ) that the banks use in their financial statements. It seems to have a significant impact on earnings. How is it determined ? Analysts take it as a poor contributor to earnings. If a bank lowers its PCL how does this actually increase its profitability ? Is there a formula to determine its PCL and how trustworthy is this ? Seems to me that a bank could alter the PCL number to better their numbers. Thanks. Derek.

Q: HMAX's dividend has been slowly declining since the ETF's inception in 2023. Please offer an explanation for the decline, as well as provide your thoughts on the size of the dividend going forward. This is one of the few investments I hold strictly for the income stream and, if the dividend is likely to continue trending down, I will be moving on. Thank you.
