Q: Hi Peter &Ryan
I wished to take a position in this stock on the US side of my cash account due to the div being in US $ I was told by my trading house that although the div is in US$ it must be paid in C$ which would mean a double exchange this is in my opion absurd .
Could you explain the rational for this that Brookfield is using .
Which should be a good stock for a US div is not good due to the double exchange.
Kind Regards
Stan

Q: Hi, can you please comment on today's increase in trading volume. Also, how does this company compare to others in the industry pertaining to affo. With the upcoming capex and very few "buys" on the stock, do you feel this company has a higher probability of surprising to the upside? With payout ratio at around 60%, do you think they will raise the dividend anytime soon? Thanks! :)

Q: What discount broker would 5i recommend for a DIY investor who has a good knowledge level of the investment world? Things to be considered would be portfolio management, alerts, news reels, trading fees, real time quotes, charting capabilities, US & CDN Market coverage, consolidated reporting (across various accounts - e.g. RRSP, TFSA, LIRA, ORDER). Thank you.

Q: I have been watching and warming up to this very small capp stock. Today it announced a 2nd quarter update.
My question is when companies do this "market update" does it set up an expectation that may dissapoint when actual results are released.
Also do you think this is an ok time to start a small postion or wait for next quarter results.
Thanks
John

Q: I am considering making a rather substantial (for me) investment in Energy Transfer Partners (symbol ETP). I am however concerned about the fact this is a USA Limited Partnership. I'm wondering if the distributions might be subjected to any withholding taxes or if I might find myself needing to file one or more USA Income Tax Returns, in the states within which the limited partnership operates? The investment will be made within either my RRSP, my LIRA or my TFSA account. I am considering investing up to $50,000.00 in this entity and so would very much appreciate any advice you may be able to offer regarding potential tax or regulatory hurdles I might face today or in the future, as a Canadian citizen making an investment in a USA domiciled Limited Partnership. Thank you.
