Q: What is the appropriate payout ratio to look at for Enbridge? They just raised the dividend 10% which signals optimism; however, I'm looking at a Motley Fool article today that argues earnings and free cash flow are both below the amount of cash needed to pay the dividend. I believe it likely the author is looking at the wrong metric and wanted to get your view. How comfortable are you with ENB's payout ratios?

Also, what is the yield assuming current price and the newly raised 2019 dividend payments?

Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i!
Pretty tepid reaction to yesterday's news. Even on today's broad market bounce, the stock doesn't seem to get any traction, holding barely into positive territory. And after a 50%+ fall from its june high, what are your thoughts on such negativity on TSGI? Has the fundamentals changes this much in 5-6 months? In hindsight, this feels like such a fad...

Anyways, thanks for 2018 and a Happy Holidays to all of you folks at 5i !!!

Q: This is a comment more than a question. I often go to their stores. I noticed that they have dropped prices on certain items lately ( eg chocolate bars) and if this is the trend then their margins have to be getting compressed. As well, their stores do not seem as busy as usual. In contrast, I also frequent Walmart and they seem just as busy. I think Walmart may be eating into DOL's business. I don't see any turnaround in DOL's share price anytime soon, although I think if it drops even more than it may get bought out or taken private. They seem have the dollar store market to themselves, just as Shoppers Drug Mart had in their category ( and they were bought out).
