Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello Peter and Staff

Read an article expounding the virtues of Cogeco and its holdco . Article cited low P/E and payout ratios as well as equivalent dividend rates based on current price with expected re rating to get discounts lower than present versus BCE and T. What do you think of this and as well the option of CCO versus CCA
Thanks for all you do

Q: Good morning,

My intention is to move some US $ from my US Non Registered account to my CDN $ Non Registered account through a journal transfer.

I just sold a US ETF and with the proceeds purchased TRP.US

Q1. Are the TRP.US dividends paid in US $ or CDN$?

Q2. Do the TRP.US dividends generated in the US Non Reg Acct qualify for the Canadian Dividend Tax Credit?

Q3. Can I simply call my TD Direct Investing broker to move TRP.US from my US Non Reg Acct to my CDN Non Reg acct?

Thank you and I'll await for your response to these three questions.

Q: Annuities? To be or not to be? As a retiree I'm pondering whether to buy an annuity at a time when the payouts are at a recent hight. I'm not sure I see any advantage over buying say ENB. The company will likely be still around in twenty years with just as much assurance as an annuity provider. I'll get a dandy, tax-advantaged dividend ( not "guaranteed", I know) and still have my capital. can you comment on annuities and whether they make sense or not? thanks. al
