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?

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Understand you don't follow the US Equities that closely but I have owned Disney for some time but its valuation seems a little overdone here and I was considering the switch to TWX since it is trading at a much cheaper multiple. My question is will the sell off of the cable division impact TWX overall and do you think this is worth the switch?
