Q: Is there any estimate with respect to a percentage of income derived from Walmart for this REIT ?
Do you think the REIT is a risky investment if there is a great dependence on one key tenant such as Walmart ?
I always appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi, when a company has a bad quarter it usually drops 5-10-maybe15%. But when it drops 40+% there is usually something really wrong? Have you heard any reports or attacks against the company? This looks different.

Q: As a follow-up to Paul’s question, A&W’s stock is back to where it was about 5+ years ago (way pre-pandemic) - why do you think this is and do you see a reason for this to change? I like the yield but opportunity or value trap? Thanks!

Q: Ecn is reporting soon. What are expectations? I am holding with a small loss which I fear is going to turn into a big loss when financials are released and results of review are revealed. The stock is acting very much like CTS leading up to the completion of their strategic review. Thoughts ?

  • View Reports on CSU

Q: According to the July 18 news release from CSU:

"The Company’s quarterly results will be disseminated via press release and made available on the Company’s website ( www.csisoftware.com ) and SEDAR, after markets close on Friday, August 11, 2023."

Is it normal for companies to release their results after market close ON A FRIDAY?

Politicians want to release bad news at the end of the day on a Friday, especially before a long weekend. So I am wondering if a company would follow suit by releasing bad news at the end of the week after the market closes.

I am not expecting bad news, but I can't recall a company like CSU releasing their results after the markets are closed on a Friday.

Your comments?

Q: I would like to get your latest opinion on this company after their latest earnings report. Topline numbers appear to be very strong.
I am looking for a secure dividend with some long term capital appreciation. In your opinion how safe is the monthly dividend. Are their debt ratios ok? Do they have much competition?

Thanks very much
