Mr Wood,

may i ask this.

is it still feasible to look at NYSE: FTEC & VT,
despite they are being subject to 30% withholding tax.

The brokerage fee is USD 1 + GST for monthly RSP with FSM.

yes, both good to look at. many bros here earlier oso say growth stock better than divi stocks. but I know my style not suitable for growth stocks.
I think both hav more room to grow but only dunno when market will recover. FTEC more on tech play.

$1 regardless of trade size? remb to check if they hav other fees. dividend handling fees, platform fees, annual fees etc.
becos unlike unit trusts, ETF do not pay trailer fee to the distributor. fsm wud not be doing low costs service for nothing.

FTEC

The 4 Big U.S. Bank Stocks, Ranked In Order
April 9th, 2020

JPMorgan Chase (JPM)
Bank of America (BAC)
Wells Fargo & Company (WFC)
Citigroup (C)

Rankings are compiled based upon the combination of current dividend yield, expected change in valuation as well as forecast earnings-per-share growth to determine which stocks offer the best total return potential for shareholders over the next five years.

The big U.S. banks have come a long way from the Great Recession, when their very survival was in question. A decade removed from the Great Recession, the 4 major U.S. banks are on much firmer financial ground. JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup have returned to consistent profitability, with much stronger capital ratios and balance sheets.

The future outlook for the big banks as a whole remains positive, due to U.S. economic growth. The impact of COVID-19 is as yet unknown, but we see the impact as a 2020 issue and thus, investors with a long-term horizon should find the U.S. banks to be attractive. All four offer strong yields, dividend growth potential, and reasonable or very cheap valuations. We like Citi the best, but note that all four stocks are in buy territory today.

imho banks form a major part of modern economies. backed by gamen, too big to fail.
good to buy, but as usual, buy the ones with strongest balance sheets and dyodd.

We have also taken appropriate action to protect our Starbucks partners and provide them economic certainty. We believe that no Starbucks partner should have to choose between their health and their work. To that end, we committed to pay all Starbucks U.S. and Canada retail partners through May 3, whether they are working or not. Additionally, we introduced Starbucks Service Pay, providing a premium of $3 per hour to our retail partners for shifts worked as scheduled through May 3, in recognition of their dedication and valued service.

this part respect. good time reward workers and shareholders. bad times dun sabo them.

Liquidity and Use of Cash Update

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to provide more insight into our ability to navigate COVID-19 from a liquidity perspective.

Given our financial strength as an enterprise, we are confident that we will be able to maintain appropriate liquidity as we manage through the current crisis. At the end of Q2, we had approximately $2.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet. To free-up additional liquidity, we executed a $1.75 billion bond issuance on March 10, 2020, with the use of proceeds earmarked for repayment of our outstanding commercial paper, backstopped by our $2 billion, 5-year credit facility and $1 billion, 364-day credit facility. Further, on March 20, 2020, we executed an additional $500 million term-loan facility. These short-term borrowing facilities, totaling $3.5 billion, provide ready access to funding as needed to provide near-term liquidity. To further enhance our financial flexibility, we have also temporarily suspended our share repurchase program and are taking steps to defer capital expenditures and reduce discretionary spending. We do not expect to reduce our quarterly dividend.

but this part is a bit worrying. borrow money to repay debts but not cut dividends.
have to analyse further is it in a good loan.

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus Part 8: Raytheon Technologies
April 14th, 2020

The merger of Raytheon and half of United Technologies put together two storied businesses. There is uncertainty related to how the companies will work together, along with the ongoing global pandemic.

However, we are encouraged by the strong records in operating history, earnings and dividend growth, the resiliency of the businesses in lesser times and the tremendous backlog.

Moreover, shares appear reasonably valued today, offering an opportunity to own a solid collection of businesses and have a fair shot at capturing strong results to come.

 

[Mr. Wood]

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus Part 65: Carrier Global
April 15th, 2020

After being spun off from United Technologies, Carrier stands as an independently traded “pure-play” business. The company enjoys strong brand names and a solid position in necessary and growing markets. Moreover, shares could be offering a compelling value proposition at present, given the potential growth, dividend history and valuation.

However, as Carrier has yet to declare a dividend or report stand-alone results, we caution that these expectations could change materially in the quarters to come. Moreover, with the demand outlook up in the air in the short-term, we note the enhanced cyclicality of the business. Investors should closely monitor the company’s financial results in the upcoming quarters to help answer these questions.
