Q: In have TXF in my registered account and its dividend has been high @12%. Recently along with tech stocks it has lost over 20% of its value. I want to know where can I find how the high dividend is generated from its components income, capital draw down and options trading (about 30%). And would really like your view of this ETF.

I am a new subscriber and I do appreciate your prompt and wise advice thank you.

Q: Hello 5i
For NTI you have PE at 5.6 and price at $76.87. This would give the EPS at $15.37 Yet you state EPS at $5.00. Why the difference?
Also, for FSZ, using the net income of $58,499 and dividends paid of $88,183 the retention ratio is -50.74. However using Operating Cash Flow of $143,814 there is retention ratio of 38.68%.Thus in the first instance, to cover the dividend there would be increased debt but in the second instance all seems well. Do you prefer using Cash Flow in this instance? Please take as many credits (if any) as required
Thank you

Q: Greetings I have held NPI in my portfolio for many years. During the past 6 months or so, I have see a steady decline in price. It represents about 5% of the portfolio, and is still much higher than the origianal purchase price. Do you feel prices will increase again over the next year or two, or should I sell it?

Q: Good Morning,

In a recent answer to one of my questions you suggested that WMB would be a good income investment.

I am not sure if I am reading this information correctly but it looks to me that the dividend has gone up and down over many years.

Is this correct? Do you have any concerns with WMB in terms of yield stability and safety?
