Q: Looking to clear out some holdings that are not performing. AND is near its 52 week low and going lower highs and lower lows. HLF is a flattish chart and is about where it was 2.5 years ago. I’m down 9.5% and 11% respectively. Could use to put the money someplace else?
Thanks
Steve

Q: This company is projected to make 1.32 US/share for 2021 or $1.68 CDN.. The numbers come out next week. It seems awfully cheap and indications are the seafood industry is very strong. Are you able to tell me the highest p/e it has ever traded at? If the 4th q numbers are strong, I think they may raise the dividend closer to the pre-covid levels.

Q: Good morning. Watching Saputo ease after recent annual reporting. Encouraging that there didn't appear to be much news slippage prior to the release.

Interested to know what the current forward p/e estimates are for some of the consumer defensive names including SAP, L, WN, PBH, HLF and MFI.

Also could you please rank in terms of estimated dividend growth going forward - best to least.

Thanks so much!

Q: Clearwater Seafoods recently issued a press release indicating that they were evaluating strategic alternatives, among which I believe could be the sale and privatization of the company. In the event that CLR is sold and goes private, what suggestions would you have in the consumer staples sector to replace this investment?

Q: I own a small position in HLF (775 shares). Would you suggest dumping them even if at small loss to get that money working somewhere smarter or is there hope for a share price recovery in the near-term (next 12 months)? My take is that there have been some decisions made to correct the course but I am not super optimistic. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thx,
M.

Q: Hi Guys.
I have owned High Liner for quite a while and am fine waiting through their hopefully successful turnaround. With the earnings report today I thought the stock would fall but it is up 3 % today. I saw this statement in the earnings release and it seems to suggest the dividend will be cut:

Dividend & Capital Structure

"Today, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a quarterly dividend of CAD$0.145 per share on the Company's common shares payable on March 15, 2019 to holders of record on March 1, 2019. The Board is continuing to review the Company's capital structure to determine the prudent use of capital and will provide an update when the Company reports its financial results for the first quarter of 2019 in May."

What do you think people saw positive in the earning release? Any idea of what the dividend payout ratio is, and whether it is safe?

Love your service

Stuart
