Q: Hello 5i team,
Gibson Energy's yield is currently nearing 7%, quite tempting for a dividend investor. Can I get your opinion on the sustainability of this dividend?

Would taking a position in GEI reduce my risk, or would I be better off topping up the other positions?
Many thanks for your valuable advice!
