Q: I understand that dividends on US-listed ETFs that hold US stocks, if held in a taxable account, are taxed as interest income. Would the same hold for individual US stocks?
Thank you

Q: Hello,

I am a long suffering holder of Vector Group Ltd. (VGR:US). The company seem to steadfastly pay out a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share and has done so for many years running. Despite that fact, the company's share price seems to be in an almost continual, slow decline (much like VET).

I would very much appreciate your thoughts on Vector Group's recent earnings announcement. If possible, I would also appreciate your thoughts about the likelihood of Vector Group being able to continue to pay out the $0.40 per share, per quarter, for the foreseeable future.

Thank you!

Q: Hello Team,
I am overweight in technology growth names and have been caught in this “sector rotation” from growth to value. My question is do I now hold steady and ride out the storm, or trim back my growth holdings and switch to value? I am a buy and hold investor typically and believe the names I am invested in are best in class in what they do, and believe the way the world is going that technology will continue to advance and should be where the biggest growth is now and into the foreseeable future. So, with the names listed do I buy more , hold, or sell?Thanks for your input on the matter.

Q: According to Portfolio Analytics (and certainly by any other measure as well!) I am over allocated to Apple. I really think their products remain sound (look at new AirPods Pro) and they seem to keep a considerable amount of cash on hand. I first bought at the time of the Brexit vote in 2016 at just under $93 USD per share and have been handsomely rewarded to date. Am I foolish not to rebalance some of the gains? I am thinking that if they have a big miss such as a larger hardware issue they have a lot of means to fix it and move on. Are they well positioned for 5G? Any thoughts appreciated.

thanks,
Marilou

Q: I know you don't deal with US, but it seems people like to own US stocks as there are more opportunities. All of these stocks except Team have been recommended by at least 2 analysts on Market Call. Could you tell me briefly why these over the last three months have been performing so poorly. Which one would be the first one you would sell? Thanks for your expert opinion. Dennis

Q: Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me regarding my inquiry about MIC:US. I'm however unclear from your answer if your advice to anyone currently holding shares in the firm would be to continue holding, to sell their shares or to purchase additional shares?

If you'd please provide your best advice (Hold, Sell or Buy) for MIC:US, that would be appreciated.

Thank you
