Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I see according to one source that the payout ratio for this stock is 187% (trailing) and 125% (forward) and using cash flow it is astronomic. Do these numbers jive with your sources, and do you think a dividend cut is likely. Also, please give me your current opinion of the company (I know the sector is out of favor). Buy, sell or hold at the moment, in your opinion. Thanks, Don

Q: GOODFOOD LAUNCHES YUMM.CA, A VALUE MEAL KIT OPTION TARGETING COST-CONSCIOUS CANADIANS

Surprised that the stock price of FOOD has been generally declining over the last 6 weeks since announcing strong quarterly earnings. But it has perked up in the last couple of days following the introduction of the lowest price ready-to-cook option in Canada. As always, I would appreciate your analysis of this new development.

Q: With the recent news on Obsidian energy seeking $100 million of unsecured fixed income, How does one find out what OBE's bond rating is? B plus or higher or lower?
Not an investor of this company, I just find this strange in the present environment, but understand why they would pursue this avenue.

Thanks, Barry

Q: EOLS has fallen a lot on the news that one of their large investors is selling 4 million shares to ML. Does this drop make sense to you. The stock was 29 dollars a few weeks ago and now less than 17 dollars. What do you think? Do you think it will recover and should I hold my position or sell.

Q: Mosaic has reported improved revenue, EBITDA, FCF and Payout Ratio vs Y2018, and the share price has responded positively. Looking past EBITDA, however, I see that income has not just declined but reversed; what is it about the former metrics that leads the market to ignore the latter? Is the idea, here, that income will go up and down as the company makes investments , but as long as the company is growing then per-year income doesn't matter so much?
