Q: DHT reported and raised their dividend. Current yield 35%! And SP is only up 3% at the moment after reporting after close yesterday... They paid off a bunch of debt early in Q2, and have many of their ships on charters rather than spot. I'm long on them, and I'm not seeing a reason I shouldn't buy more. What are your thoughts?

Q: Hello, split shares have dropped quite a lot recently. Most are well below the $5 threshold (DF-$3.08, DGS-$3.50, FFN-$3.52), where monthly dividends ($0.07-0.08) are distributed. Most of the companies that are being held in split shares are bank stocks and other high quality Canadian stocks.

I am trying to better understand the risks of owning split shares. I estimate the only circumstances I would not collect dividends are when:
1) the prices of the equity inside the split shares never go back to the normal level, and
2) the dividend-paying equity inside the split shares cuts and suspends dividends.

What other risks can you think of? Do you think the risk outweighs the rewards?

Thanks

Q: I would like your thoughts on this company. Looking forward 1-5 years in regards to the safety of the security's dividend (current yield close to 7%). Debt rating agencies giving positive comments seem to support a solid status. Also any comments you might have comparing POW versus Power Financial in a non-registered account.

Q: Further to the active discussion of BEPC versus BEP.UN, I switched over to BEPC (from BEP.UN) in my registered account. I phoned TD-Waterhouse today to see if I could enroll my BEPC shares into a synthetic DRIP, and was told that BEP.UN is eligible, whereas BEPC is not. I am curious-- can you confirm this, and if this is indeed the case, why might that be? For those 5i subscribers who are interested in enrolling in a (brokerage) DRIP, this could be a relative advantage of BEP.UN, especially with a lower price (and higher yield) versus BEPC, one would be gradually adding to their position via a DRIP. Your thoughts on this situation?
