Q: hi,
im seeing a very high P/E on CSU right now. can you compare the current P/E and the forward P/E with historical averages. If possible can you include the ranges for these ( ie highest and lowest historically). can you comment on your thoughts about the current and future P/E being reasonable or not, and why? finally, are you comfortable punching shares at this price?
cheers, Chris

Q: Hi 5i,
On Feb 1st you included BCE as one of the companies with the safest dividends on the TSX.
On Feb 2nd the answer to a question on BCE was "and its free cash flow has been declining over the past few years. Over the past 12 months, its free cash flow is not sufficient to cover its dividends, and the company has issued debt to service these payments. Its debt-to-equity is climbing, and its net debt/EBITDA is high at 3.6X."
The 2 answers seem to be a bit of a contradiction. I understand you are referencing free cash flow (after capital expenditures) are not sufficient.
Would it have been better said that they are issuing debt to finance capital expenditures and infrastructure than to pay dividends?

Q: Hi Team,
NVEI announced partnership with CASH APP yesterday. I had expected this to be a bigger deal than the market is telling us. It seems nothing can move the needle with this name. Is it being constantly held down by the shorts? Is it worth holding on to? I am down huge in this name (-78%), and so far, it doesn't seem to be recovering.

Thanks,
Shane.
