Q: I have some extra USD money from a small US pension that is used for going to Florida in the winters. Since we have not gone in the last two years, I would like to put some of it in our TFSA. My questions are, if I buy say TD on the NY stock exchange would the dividend in US dollars be subject to 15% withholding tax. Could you please give me several companies I could buy into if this is true. Could you also give me several US companies or ETF's that would give me a dividend and hopefully growth for a long term hold. Thank you for all the help I get for being a member. Gary

Q: Hello Peter,

Could you please give me your opinion of the stock at current price levels? I have been holding on to it through the decline and am wondering if it should have a place in the risky portion of the portfolio? With the rotation out of growth providing opportunities at now lower valuations, where would you place OSTK in the spectrum?
Regards
Rajiv
