Q: I’d like to ask you to speculate on if and when Telus International might initiate a dividend? I’m assuming it is likely to happen one day? I know that you like to see that first dividend established. In your experience would it be unusual before a certain number of years have passed after being listed? Is there some consistent level of profitability required over a given time usually, or any indicators/predictors to go by? Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello Peter,

I would like your opinion on Shopify not just on its own merit but in relation to the ecommerce business of Amazon. While the long term adoption is in place the rate of growth has slowed according to Shopify. However, Amazon being a much larger and mature business had an impressive revenue growth for the quarter?
How will the market value Shopify as compared to amazon? And when taking into account Shopify's vertical integration and Amazon's diverse business, which one would give a better return to the investor for the next 12-18 months?
Regards
Rajiv

Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
According to recent updates from the company, Well Health seems to be firing on all cylinders. I am trying to understand why it's sitting near year lows. It does not seem appropriate to me for investors to be selling it off like a speculative Tech name. Healthcare will always be needed, and Telehealth should keep advancing...and is in the very very early stages. Management has a stellar history, revenues are climbing rapidly with aquisitions; with all this in mind...is it time to buy more of this name? Or am I missing something here? Thanks

Shane.

Q: US Div Stocks vs CAD Div Stocks? I know the Dividend Tax Credit only applies to Canadian Stocks, but these days some good US STocks are paying 9 to 11 %. What is the Dividend Tax Credit worth in terms of %? I guess it is still better to buy Canadian Div Stocks:
The federal dividend tax credit as a percentage of taxable dividends is 15.0198% for eligible dividends and 9.0301% for non-eligible dividends.
