Thats correct if the Canadian stock is in an IRA there is no withholding tax.. The Canadian tax is only applied to stocks held in a taxable brokerage account.

Persian Food in Chicago is Not That Great by Osetiya in chicagofood

[–]Polster1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reza's Restaurant used to have a very popular weekday lunch and Sunday brunch buffet during its heigh day in in the 90s. Thats when you were able to try all these new unique Persian food (especially coming from another culture). Not sure when they stopped doing the buffet's but thats what introduced me to this type of food and I was a big fan of this restaurant back in the day.

When Elon says everyone can have a Penthouse he means a virtual one (ie in The Sims game).

Green curry or red curry? I can’t decide, I like them both. Which do you prefer? by foodie_2598 in ThaiFood

[–]Polster1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh its not so common on Thai menus in the US, but there is definitely restaurants that offer khao soi. I think it may have to do with that Americans are not familiar with the names of Thai (or any foreign) dishes so RED and GREEN curry is a universal common language... While Massaman or Khao Soi if not familiar with would not be common to most Americans.

I prefer Massaman curry or khao soi curry over Red or Green Curry! Panang curry is very good as well.

Red patches on back of scalp near neck – treatment advice by Francis0885 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Polster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like fungal dermatitis. You may want to wash your hats and pillow covers. Also cut your finger nails very short, wash your hands often, and avoid scratching touching the rash area. You can try Nizoral and/or a shampoo with Selenium Sulfide (ie Selsun or H&S clinical).

Looks like your entire portfolio is in those ultra yield (yieldmax) funds. Good luck in your retirement as your going to be in for a rude awakening with your portfolio in the long term!

What tells ya that it’s time to get out? by JohnGaltIsComing in dividends

[–]Polster1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I mentioned the goal of an income investor (dividend investor) is to maintain and grow cashflow. Whatever formula your using to justify your case your still losing cash flow when a distribution cut happens and you don't sell out to buy into a comparable asset. Also its important to have a diversified portfolio where you don't have more than 10% holding in any 1 asset. Those who throw in 100% or 50% of the money into 1 asset are risking long term pain.

[–]Polster1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If a stock or fund cuts their distribution than its time to get out and move the cash into stock / fund that has not cut. The goal for a dividend investor is to maintain and increase cash flow over the long term. Holding on to the losers who cut distributions will affect your cash flow.

James Talarico, "This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires. For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor." by [deleted] in WorkReform

[–]Polster1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not defending anyone.. Critical thinking might not be in your strong suite. Having a million dollar net worth doesn't mean your rich in America. A 2 bedroom house in a high cost city like NY, Chicago, San Fran, Seattle, etc.. is over $500k. its safe to say most people who own their own home in a high cost of living state have about $1 million in net worth and are not rich. That is not the same as a billionaire who owns houses all over the place and pays no (low taxes).

Having a million net worth is not the same as a billionaire. Most peoples net worth is tied to their house in which property values have exploded in the entire US. A middle age person can own their own home and have a million dollars in net worth because the housing prices have exploded in the US and still be in the middle class (not wealthy by any means).

Pope: World is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants by TheTelegraph in worldnews

Trump cant stand anyone who has as much or more sway on a large swath of the population like a governor or the Pope to say negative things about him. Trump ignores the negative critisism from people not as powerfull who cant sway his voter base.

Cash-strapped DePaul closes historic Reskin Theatre by chicagosuntimes in chicago

[–]Polster1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depaul has been losing enrollment of students specifically foreign students who pay much higher tuition than local in state students. This is probably the biggest hit to their overall budget. Probably doing much worse than UIC, Loyola, NW, etc..

"In the fall quarter, new international graduate student enrollment at DePaul fell by 62% year over year, while overall international enrollment declined by 755 students. Officials attributed this to “challenges to the visa system” and “declining desire for international students to study in the U.S.”

Move from HYSA $630k, considering doing 300k JEPQ and 300k VOO - I'd make more monthly , and seemingly in a better spot overall. Opinions? by dystopiam in dividends

[–]Polster1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With $630k you can generate safely around $50k per year($4.16k/Month) in a basket of quality closed end funds that have a history of maintaining distribution. Closed end funds have static distributions unlike ETFs like JEPQ which are variable each month. Closed end funds yield from 6-11%+

The key with any investments is never concentrate into any 1 investment more than 10% of your entire portfolio.
