Q: Could you comment on vet dividend. In this environmental world were in, the sector is not the best. I find when the dividend is 6%+ it usually results in lower stock prices eventually.
I ‘am fine with 4-5% dividend and a well run company with a increasing share price ( hopefully). Is vet not sacrificing a more stable share price for a high dividend? I have always felt that too high a dividend 6-7%+ was always a problem in the long run.
Having said that would you consider vet a long term hold?

Q: Questor recently posted on their website a presentation to Altacorp in April. In the presentation they state that in the first quarter (Jan 1, 2019 -March 31. 2019) they shipped 39% of their rental fleet to a new customer in the Bakken. This would seem to be significant news yet no press release was issued. Are companies obliged to disclose material contracts or is that at their discretion?

Q: From the Globe and Mail: "Trident Exploration Corp. said it ceased operations effective April 30, leaving behind a $329-million bill to clean up 4,700 wells it says are being transferred to the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER)."

There is a problem in Canada with abandoned oil and gas wells and unfunded clean up costs from defunct oil and gas producers. From the press this seems to be a big future liability to the Province and existing companies as well. This would create a massive source of revenue for companies tasked with the clean up job I imagine. Is there an investment thesis here?

Q: After the announcement of Alberta production curbs I increased my holdings from 2.5% to 4,5% and because of its outperformance I am now over 5% and am going to reduce my holdings. I am thinking of going down to 4% as I see improving metrics with the company. It is my only oil and gas producer in a balanced portfolio which is less than 20% of total holdings but managed on a standalone basis. What are your thoughts on a 4% holding. Thanks
