Q: Thank you for your answer on stocks and ETF'S for my son's FHSA account that is starting. The answer included mostly US domiciled names/ETF's and we are looking at Canadian names. Could you recommend a combination of Canadian blue chips and ETF's for a 7 year time frame to monthly contribute and compound before needing funds for a home buyer withdrawal
Thank you

Q: Hi Guys.

Looking to buy Raytheon on the setback but would prefer to buy the CDN Canadian Depository Receipt version. I just wonder if the CDR is too thinly traded to be "safe".

I own the CDR of Alphabet but it trades thousands of shares each day. The CDR of RTX sometimes trades no shares in a day so I don't even know where my bid should be to match the US version.

Are my fears real and any strategy to use to buy the CDN CDR or should I just but it on the NYSE?

Thanks so much

Stuart

Q: Brian Acker was on Market Call on September 26. He was asked about some high dividend payers such as BCE and ENB. He said that these high dividends reduce the book value of these stocks, so that in effect one is not really getting a true high yield.
Can you explain this or have a comment?
Thank you, Cheers

Q: I think there may be some confusion about my previous question re VFV and also a question posed by umedali.
I may have misunderstand, but you seem to imply that VFV would undergo double taxation (withholding) because it is an etf that holds another etf. Is that what you mean by a “second level” of tax?
I am not sure this is correct. The etf being held by VFV would be U.S. domiciled, which would not be subject to tax on the dividends it receives from U.S. companies. However, VFV, being Canadian, would be subject to tax on the flow through of dividends to it from the underlying etf. Then, after this, the dividends should flow through to a Canadian holder without further tax, since it is from a Canadian listed etf. So only one round of taxation. Unfortunately, they call it “level 2” taxation in that link you provided, which is about the most ambiguous label they could have possibly come up with.
As far as I can tell, double taxation would only come into play if the underlying etf held by VFV itself held foreign securities (ex European stocks).
Apologize if I’ve got this all wrong, it’s not very clear on the Vanguard website imo.
