Q: I've read through the comments on BCE today. Do you see it as a hold, or sell? If sell, what do you see as a good dividend-paying replacement?

Q: What are the implications for BCE to be cut to One Notch Above Junk by Moody’s last week ? Thanks
Q: Hi,
On September 4 in an answer to Ritwick's question, you said: "BCE did not cut its dividend in other times of crisis...".
I thought BCE cut its dividend by about half in 2008. It did raise the dividend again to previous trend levels in the subsequent year(s).
I vaguely recall at the time that the 2008 dividend cut was quite a dramatic move for a "widows and orphans' stock and of course no one could predict at the time the dividend would be reinstated the next year.
Cheers, Michael

Q: The Globe reports that Moody's just downgraded BCE. I understand that the downgrade means borrowing costs are higher. What else does it mean?
Do you think that BCE will have need to borrow money in the next couple of years.
Thanks a lot for your views.

Q: What are your thoughts on the c rating downgrade ? Dividends are currently over 100% of FCF. How do they maintain the div under this situation
Q: 5i Research has been always positive about BCE and its high yield as manageable and the Management is doing a good job through challenging times. BCE bonds last week were rated at just 2 notches above junk by Moody & S&P Globe ratings. I am wandering if you can justify your optimism in this light of downgrading. If so please provide reason for your optimism.

Q: Hello,
I am considering investing in PBH as it checks off the right boxes and it is one of your favorites.
However, looking at other similar co's MTY & MFI they seem to offer similar dividends and growth, tgey are both also trading close to the same lower range as PBH.
Could you provide insight on why these are lagging the food retailers who are trading at highs.
Thank you
