Q: Hello 5i I own ZCL and would like to know about the dividend. The ex dividend date is Jan 28/19 if the dividend is paid before the takeover in April/19, if I sold on Jan 29/19 would I be paid the dividend.

Q: Hello 5i would there be any further dividend payouts or would the Dec 28/18 be the last one?

Q: Can you please suggest four names to invest the proceeds of ZCL? Growth and income preferably . Thanx Robbie

Thanks

Is this info about ZCL new?

Q: I have a question about 1213 ..

With the dividend yield now over 8%, is this a danger signal for ZCL?
I know it has been on and off your favourites list and you had indicated a couple of months ago that you are not expecting a big turnaround.

But the yield is tempting....

What is ZCL's free cash flow and payout %.?
Is the balance sheet in good shape by your standards.?

I can be patient with a stock offering an 8% yield .... as long as it is not likely to be another ALA.

Thanks for your help.

Q: I got in at 14.00 a share should I buy more hold or sell thanks

Q: ZCL reported it's 9 month results a couple of weeks back and I am having trouble reconciling the drop in cash on hand. At the end of 2017 they had approx 25.5 million in cash and equivalents and as of end Sept 2018 they have debt of 3.8 million and no cash. So the cash level from end year 2017 plus debt plus the net income generated through the first nine months of 9.6 million equals 38.9 million. Yes they have spent 24.6 million on dividends and another 3.6 million on share buybacks for a total of 28.2 million leaving approx 10.7 million difference. Back out the debt of 3.8 million and the cash flow used for investing of 2.8 million and there should be 4.1 million of cash left on the balance sheet. I deliberately left out changes in non cash working capital because...wait for it...they are non cash. I am not an accountant and don't play one on TV so I could use your help. What am I missing? Thanks

Q: Another disappointing quarter judging by the market but I can't help but think there is value in long term. Would appreciate any insights plus your opinion. Thanks

Q: What is the dividend payout ratio? Is it sustainable?
Safe long term play?
Thanks

Q: Did zcl report today? If so what we're the numbers and your thoughts going forward. Is that why it's down again today?

Q: Can I get your thoughts on ZCL, everyday looking better, any reason for the constant down draft?

Q: Zcl is down more than 4% again today. Is there any news or is it more tax loss selling?

Q: Hi 5i
Do you see any reasons why these two companies will increase in value over the next 30 days? I have significant losses that I could bank, but I like both for their dividends and could buy back after 30 days. Thanks

Q: Some time ago Ryan was very bullish on ZCL composites and at the time they where $8.49 ps. As of 9/21/18 they are $7.38. Has he any reason to believe that they will recover and are they still worth consideration?

Q: The above listed companies have (I think) been recommended by you over the last year as small caps with growth potential. All are down in the dumps at the moment and I am wondering which, if any, would you now recommend for growth over the short term (one year)
