Q: Please provide me with a list of solid Canadian stocks (such as the Brookfield group) in which I may receive dividends/distribution in US dollars.
Is the income converted to CDN for income tax purposes (by me, the co. or RevCan) ?
I assume there will not be any withholding tax as they would be CDN companies?
Would I be charged a commission by anyone, i.e. the company or Scotia iTrade?
Anything else I need to know?
Thanks
Derek

Q: GGP has indicated that BPY could be required to pay a co reverse termination fee of $1.2 B in certain circumstances. What are those circumstances and how likely is that to happen? BPY was sharply down on Monday. Is the termination fee part of the reason for the decline? When is the takeover likely to be completed?

Q: I have held BPY for a number of years, primarily for a solid, growing dividend. I am still up 20% plus the dividend and with the sell off in the past year I am looking at topping up to a 4% full position.
I do have a well diversified portfolio largely based on a mix of your 3 portfolios.
The recent selloff has broken support and am wondering if you see an end to the decline. I would think the dividend yield would be supporting the price unless there is a concern with the sustainability of the dividend.
Would you consider it buyable now or wait for further declines?

Q: what is your opinion of the future for Brookfield properties? It has declined significantly since the announcement of the purchase of the position in the retail malls in US. Is there a large increase in debt looming or something else I am missing. Yield is now 6%

Q: Hello team,

Do you think the sell off on these fine dividend payers is done? I want to buy some blue chip dividend payers (I have none) but I wonder if the impact of future rate hikes is already/completely priced in for these types of stocks. What do you recommend: wait a bit longer or just buy now? I am afraid of buying now and watch them go much lower than their current price. At what price(or multiple) each of these would be a pounding-the-table buy? Would you please order them in terms of your preference for a very long-term hold.

Thank you very much indeed!

Q: i currently hold hr.un and drg.un in my portfolio for a total reit exposure of 12%, split almost evenly between the two. I am thinking of reducing the above two and adding bpy.un for a total of three reits totalling 12% of my portfolio. Would i gain much more global exposure than what i currently have and would it increase my exposure negatively.

Thanks, David

Q: First of I would like to thank you for the quality of the new format. My concern at this time is the increase in the exposure to US retail when this sector is in secular decline. Having said this, I read that they do have a 95% occupancy rate. Your thoughts. Nigel.

Q: I hold BCE and T for income, as well as CTL in a retirement income portfolio.
I am thinking of switching either BCE or T for BPY for a similar income because of the much reduced (I think) Capex requirements and likely better growth prospects.
My utility and real estate sector holdings currently are 20% and 23%, respectively,each spread over about 12 companies.
What would your thoughts be?
