Q: HELLO TEAM... I am building a small cap dividend income portfolio as part of an overall income plan-it will comprise only 5-10% of my overall portfolio ( mainly for diversification). The names I have chosen so far include DBM, CJR.B. KPT, TTR-all nice dividends with some growth potential. Do you have any other ideas for this adventure ...once again many thanks regards gary

Q: I recently bought back into SYZ after the SP decline, some recent acquisitions, and insider buying. My question is with respect to what you think the payout ratio might be going forward on a normalized basis (removing one time items etc). I’m curious if the company will be able to maintain its high dividend yield that is uncommon for growth tech stocks. Do you think they can long term or have the acquisitions / growth investments made this dividend suspect? Thanks

Q: I've been on the fence with this stock and was trying to decide what to do with it....I go to the 5i website and boom you've upgraded to A-. I was coming to ask if it was time to move to another tech name. I am a balanced portfolio follower slowly moving to income follower so was considering selling my ENGH and buying SYZ. I bought at $65 so am down about 15%. I take it the upgrade means you have faith even if it isn't a name you hold in the portfolios.

Q: I am looking for technology companies that pay a dividend for an income portfolio, Sylogist is on my list to purchase however it is fairly small. Do you view the SYZ dividend as safe and would you buy today? Can you recommend another tech that pays a reasonable dividend (smaller but growing is fine)? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i
Wondering about SYZ insider ownership.
I have to guess Mr. Wood is a smart and very qualified guy to be at the helm of SYZ and its ReFocus on Growth Initiative - and after leading several companies through his career.
Today however, I own more shares than this CEO......if one doesn't count the $5 MM Shareholders gave him for showing up. (William Wood)

Should there be an expectation for a small cap CEO to have some of his own skin in the game through share ownership?

Other insiders were buying in 2021 - with the CEO breaking out $5000 for shares.


Also, is there an alert system that notifies on massive selling like David Elder did during the April/May 2021 price run up? (sold 200,900 share @ $15)

Should an investor today be wanting to buy this stock while CEO is not?

Thank
Dave

Q: Above our securities of about 45 I hold that for quite some time are terrible to look at. Which ones should I sell and replace with your picks that are doing quite well and would you sell them at the price they are now or would you pick a higher price and put them in for a few days? Thanks again
