Q: Hi 5i
At what share price will FTN discontinue its dividend? I know you've mentioned split share dividends are dependant on NAV but how does one find the NAV value? I cant seem to find it??
How do you view dividend going forward .....?
Does current dividend look like it in trouble at these levels?

And are the preferred dividends fixed or subject to adjustment ?
Thx

Q: I believe the current market downturn provides opportunity. I would like your insight into the following two questions; along the lines of "be greedy when others are fearful".

First, recognizing a 2-3 year hold is very, very short term thinking, what are 3 companies with dividend bearing stock that you feel would be in the top 10% of performers as the market recovers.

Second, what 3 companies do you feel provide the biggest stock price recovery and growth opportunity for a 5+ year hold.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: As EMA moves up I am wondering if I should book profits and look to an alternate choice in the sector. I had the same thought on my CPX shares when they were in the mid $60s and failed to act leaving me down significantly on those now. I would hate to repeat the error. Should I be more confident in the staying power of EMA is, I guess, the crux of the question.

Q: It seems the mid-stream oil and gas companies are holding up fairly well in this world of uncertainty. I would like to take positions in all, or some of these companies.

Are there any of these that you would not invest in at this time? If so, why not?

It would also be helpful if you would rank order them for me in terms of reliability of dividends and value at this time.

If you think there are other mid-streamers you like please feel free to include them.

Q: I am currently break even on my BCE holding. What is your current opinion on the stock given it's recent strength despite the general market weakness? I am certainly expecting a dividend cut starting with the July payment. Would you regard it as a hold or sell?

Q: Within each of their sectors, CPX and GSY seem to have suffered larger drops than their peers.

Can you comment on why they each have been so negatively impacted and provide your thoughts on whether you think they should be continued to be owned or do you have other preferences in these sectors, if one's goal is income and some growth.

Thank you

Q: Greetings,

I am wondering if Gibsons is worth a punt at less than $20 ish to be treated as a trading stock whilst being paid to wait for an uplift?


1. Highly leveraged - Could this be a big problem going forward? Are the dividends safe?
2. From what I can tell, 5 separate Insiders bought meaningful amounts of stock on Feb 20th - They must know something?
3. Sudden steep decline - Maybe an over reaction?
4. Trading range - Since 2019 the stock seems to be trading in the range $20 - $26 - Can we hope on a reversion to the mean?
5. Are it's problems self inflicted or general market sentiment ?

Many thanks!
