Q: Dear 5i,

In your latest flash report April 13, 2020 you suggested that due to covid-19 there will likely be reduced EPS growth. You also mentioned there might be a dividend cut for conservatism. In your opinion is the dividend covered with reduced earnings expectations due to covid-19 challenges? If so, what percentage of earnings would be used to pay the current dividend if it not cut? If the dividend is cut, what do you think is reasonable?

thanks

Ian

Q: TFII: a lot of debt., low PR @ 25%, excellent ROE of approx. 22%, diversified company. I own nothing in this space. Everything is up a lot this week - who would have figured with all the negative media news (what's new)? They report later this month. I do not know a lot about this company? I assume transportation of goods, courier services etc.? Low fuel prices is certainly helping their bottom line as this would be a huge expense. 1000 shs would be a full position for me - maybe buy 500 now? Is the dividend safe (high debt.)?

Q: Hi

I know you have recommended this in the past based on valuation and it has recently rebounded almost 100% off the lows.

As someone with a 5 year+ time horizon, but concerned about capital preservation, is this a good place to be right now

My concern is that if people are struggling to pay bills, rent, buy food, these loans will fall first.

A secondary concern given the present environment is government intervention to reduce the interest rates GSY can charge which would fundamentally impact the business.

Thoughts?

Q: Hi,

I am trying to wrap my head around Shopify.

With all the craziness in the market due to COVID 19, how is it that this stock has held up.
It is up 12.7% YTD and a return of 118% in one year.

What is so special about this stock that it’s held up so well while other stocks within the same industry/sector are down 50%-60%.?

Thanks,

Q: Based on the following from G&M today, and my horizon of 5+ years, can I have your opinion on continuing to hold:

"NFI Group Inc. (NFI-T)

On March 25, Adam Gray, who sits on the board of directors, invested over $10-million in shares of this company. He acquired 1-million shares at a price per share of $10.85 for an account in which he has control or direction over (Coliseum Capital Management LLC), raising this account’s holdings to 3,206,246 shares.

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on a comapny like GDI at a time like this? On an up market day like today the stock had no movement (which may be a good thing as it may not be correlated to the market). Do you think they could have liquidity issues? I am starting to buy this slowly. DO let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam
