Q: Hi Peter & Team... re US Auto Industry - GM & F

Back in late Jan I inquired about GM & F and you mentioned 5I was not at this time earnestly following US Equities per say BUT, that you would be doing more so in the coming months.

Spring is just around the corner, the fleet is very aged, incentives are in place, emerging markets are showing some positive signs (especially for GM), there appears to be some confidence in the economy and both F & GM (again especially GM) are very cheap right now. A recent article I read suggested GM could see $45-$47 by years end with continued growth expected in 2015 plus GM is up 6% since early Feb. Is there any way you could take a moment and give us any thoughts you may have on this sector?

Appreciate all you do... gm

Q: I've done a little screening for good dividend stocks that aren't in the mainstream media. One of these is Mind CTI (NASDAQ: MNDO).

My research has shown me that it has about half it's market cap in cash. The dividend is high, and in most years, it can cover it through all of it's net income. In the most recent year, it's only able to cover half of it, yet they still paid out 24 cent versus their 12 cents in profits.

My question is: what do you think of this company and is the dividend policy sustainable in your view?
