Q: Good morning 5i
And thanks for the continuing good advice in this difficult time. I know that you lack confidence in Toy's management following their errors during the best selling season and their failure in estimating future revenu. But, i have, now a small position, in a non registered account. I am thinking about buying the same amount in a registered account and in a month selling in the non registered account. This will allow me to take the tax loss selling, without fear that the stock shoots up in that time. i take seriously your concern about toy. But, i imagine nothing catastrophic will happen in a month, would you agree?
Thanks

Q: Any concern on their dividend? Looking at their annual report for 2019, payout ratio is close to 70%. If this is correct, doesn’t leave much room to increase the dividend or re-invest back into the business for growth.... I would hate to see an equity raise in the near future or see then use their cash balance for a dividend increase. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I just reread through your report on this company. How can you do a report on a company without even talking or acknowledging their debt situation. How can we your clients who are relying at least partly on your advice reports etc. on some of these companies in your portfolios and now in a lot of ours fully trust some these reports. I fully realize times of changed dramatically very quickly but this seems to me like a very important fundamental that needs to be in all reports. I look forward to your response.

Q: In this market, is Absolute one to worry about. Is the dividend covered? Do they still have lots of cash? If there is a possibility they will cut the dividend, I dont want to see my investment cut in half with no dividend and I will bail now.
