Q: The tax treatment of these ETFs (and typical of others) is difficult to determine. Dividends are withheld from these ETFs but are applied to the book value of the stock. We still pay for the dividend as income (with tax credits) but when the stock is sold, the capital gains are reduced by the amount added to the book value. Capital gains are taxed at 50%. Does it matter if we hold these in a RRIF or personal account? I'm retired and total dividend income is below $50k.

Q: Hey guys,

MDT gets lots of love on here but seems to be losing a bit of steam. The chart is concerning and it appears ready to test the 82.50 mark. Do you continue to like it and how far are you willing to tolerate what appears to be a downtrend? Hold with conviction or is there a point you throw in the towel?

Q: Referring to the US company Cybr (and not the Canadian Eft), do you think it remains a buy? It has had a nice little run up but it seems anything good has run up a lot since December. The company seems to have stellar earnings per share growth but I don't know how that translates into the stock price. Is it overbought or is there more gain to be had in your view? Thank you.

Q: One of my largest holdings in my RRSP is Blackstone L.P. Today they announced they are converting to a Corporate structure as at 7.1.19. It appears the market likes it. What effect will this have on the dividends (ie: yield & taxes), the SP now and going forward in your estimation? Should I buy more (to a reasonable % of course), sell or hold?
