Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
A year ago you stated that 2024 would be a "muted" year for this shipping company and you were right. It has drifted down. At the time you also stated that 2025 would see growth and better times. I am a long term investor so I held. So now I am faced with the same dilemma only a different year. So please give me your up to date assessment...Does 2025 look better...especially with all this geopolitical conflict and a threat of tariffs...not sure if that would reduce cargo tariff. Your assessments are always of value and is why I keep renewing my membership year after year.

Q: Trump said he would pay down Debt and Lower Taxes

How about this ? Pres Trump will put on Tarrifs , What if he applies ALL Tariff Money raised against paying down U S Debt. It is like a tax on American Consumer anyway and in this way he pays down U S Debt ,

Is that idea too much off the wall ? I think it is a great Idea ,

Q: I know you have had mixed commentary on these two. Questions:

1. On BCE, do you think the dividend on common shares is "safe" (I own it for the dividend ... capital appreciation is less of a concern) Would I be better off simply selling my common BCE shares and buying some BCE preferred shares (and if so, which one). Or should I sell it and buy something else with more upside ?

2. SPB announced a major cut to their dividend this morning. And based on my reading, the latest quarter was less than staller. What are your thoughts on this one overall given this news?

I hate being reactionary but I'm down over 20% of both of these ....
