Q: Hi 5i. I think the figure you like to use to measure a company's dividend payout is the ratio of dividend to free cash flow. I think Peter even wrote about this recently in the FP. For the above two companies, could you please tell me what the dividend-to-free cash flow currently is? Is it following a perceptible trend of rising or falling?
Q: This company have improved their balance sheet and focus on their main service sector. They seem to be on the right track. Any chance that it goes back to their 52 week high any time soon? Time is on my side regardless so the question is would you endorse a buy to add money to a looser?
Q: What is the latest update on ILLM last few days it has come down from 2.55 to 2.20 range, can I please have your 1 to 2 years company performance going forward.
Q: please comment on todays news of qipt acquisition and what it may mean
to stock valuation. i do not see how they are paying for it or what they paid, nor
the name of the company. pretty vague.
thank you.
Q: Hi- I am wondering if a small cap ETF would be a good choice for a RSP account (e.g. XCS and XSU specifically)? Aiming for low risk in this account.
Can you please suggest 5 Cdn companies that have hit recent 52 week lows that you would s-l-o-w-l-y start accumulating, say over the next 3-6 months....(knowing they could possibly go another 5-10% lower over that time period)? I was thinking in the small-mid cap space. I know buying in downward momentum is not the ideal scenario.
Alternatively, can you also list 5 Cdn companies in the same space hitting recent 52 week highs that you would start to accumulate?
Q: Majority control of the Co.is by Shaw family. Do you have % share of this ownership and its board membership? Other than family ownership, are there any major share holders to influence the future of the Co.? I am assuming high Dividend is not sustainable but the majority owner do not want to change it either. So what can change this Company?
Q: Both of these small companies appear to be on a growth trend,
Can I please have your opinion and whether you would recommend a small position.
Thanks Rick
Q: Hi all, I know extendicare is not one of your faves but I'm wondering if you would comment on the stability of their divie distributions into the future and general financial stability.
Q: I’m looking at your recent comments that SIS still has good long term prospects in spite of their new issue to pay off debts. Having looked at their 7% drop I was thinking about adding to my position, but I see it is still selling at 25x earnings!
Do you think this price is justified? And would you expect there to be more price volatility up or down in the near future, ie meriting holding on for more price correction?
