Q: I'm interested in an ETF - BANK-T - that holds mostly Canadian banks and major financial companies. I'm surprised that it's yield is about 14%+, and pays out monthly too. That seems to be too good to be true.

My question is how can BANK-T do it, consider the ETFs can only get cash from two sources - dividends from the stocks they hold and from trading gains of those stocks.

Kindly enlighten us on how they can afford to pay such hefty monthly payout? Thanks.

Q: I'm trying to get my head around EQB . I've read 5i's analysis of the company but the part I don't understand is why would " Joe Sixpack " go to them for a car loan or to renew their mortgage rather than one of the big six ? ...... Not to mention I suspect " Joe Sixpack " has never heard of them . I also don't understand why or what a Credit Union would use them for ? ..... Could 5i explain just who their market is ? And why using EQB would be more attractive than a mainstream financial institution ? Thanks for your terrific service .......

Q: Microstrategy was the heaviest traded stock by dollar volume in the US a few days ago. As bitcoin goes up, they are issuing convertible notes at zero coupon and buying exponentially more bitcoin. Can this continue? Is this company a long term hold or too much of a meme stock now?

Q: Hello
Brookfield Corp stock has been drifting lower after making a high of $85, despite strong results. We started a position just before and after results were announced with an average price of $81.50, for a long term hold.

Do you consider $78 to be a decent level to add some shares or wait for a further pull back ? Not sure if following was a reason for the downward pressure, today.

It was reported by a news website EI confidential that Brookfield intends to offer EUR 7 Billion, to buy Spanish Drug maker Grifols with an offer of EUR 10.50, below the price its trading now.

Thank you

Q: Hello

I noted in one of your responses that Brookfield Corp pays dividend in USD.
If so, do we have to hold the stock in USD Currency, in order to receive dividends in USD ?

Also, are the USD Dividends received from Brookfield Corp, eligible for Canadian Dividend Tax Credit or the dividends have to be received in CAD, in order to qualify for the Tax Credit ? ( So, we should move the BN to CAD side of the portfolio ? ).

Thank You
