Q: Good morning,

Do you think all 4 or any of the 4 companies will see improved SP with the announcement that LNG will likely be announced next week - announcement being that it will be a GO!

Thanks,
Sean.

Q: With the yield over 10% the board must be considering a dividend cut, even if they can afford the current dividend. If the market gives the current dividend no respect cut it in half and the price will probably not move and they can use the money elsewhere. Where would you put the odds of a dividend cut?

Q: This was supposed to be a no lose scenario: buy ALA.r get the dividend and if the deal goes through the receipts convert to regular stock, which was supposed to rally because the transaction closed, if not get your the money back and keep the divident

Since then, it's on a free fall, the deal closed but shares continues to drop daily. Can it maintain 10% yield?

Q: hi folks

have we reached capitulation yet?

given the company moves in the past year (ie. ALA.R; WGL purchace; selling of cdn assets) are we now to beleive they have 'figured out the right balance'?

or is this classic case of mgmt being way over thier collective heads?

buy initial position; average down or sell?

thanks kindly

Q: I'm tempted to buy more ALA and am trying to confirm that ALA dividend will still be well covered after all the divestitures. Do you have details on the free cash flow of WGL (pre-acquisition) and ALA currently? I found cash from ops but not a breakdown of cap exp for maintenance versus growth). Also, any idea how much free cash flow is being lost by ALA as a result of the divestitures?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Peter; Further to Richards question - not being a finance guy - if they’re spinning out 60% does this not reduce their WGL ownership and impact the cash needed for the ALA dividend? It was supposedly accretive when purchased but wouldn’t that now be less accretive? Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi, as a long term income investor I am getting very tempted by ALA’s increasingly attractive yield as the stock trends lower. However, at around 9% is this a warning that the dividend is potentially at risk of being cut. IWhat do you think is the probability? At the same time ALA is a large company in a relatively stable industry and has made an attractive acquisition? Your thought? Thanks.

Q: About ALA, FTN, PIC-A, how safe are those dividends ? For income would you buy any ? If so in which order. If none are buyable which other high dividends payers would you recommend ?
Already own over 20 dividend payers but mostly are under 5% except BYP, KWH, BEP, NWH.
Thanks for your help.
