Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Any concern on their dividend? Looking at their annual report for 2019, payout ratio is close to 70%. If this is correct, doesn’t leave much room to increase the dividend or re-invest back into the business for growth.... I would hate to see an equity raise in the near future or see then use their cash balance for a dividend increase. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: I just reread through your report on this company. How can you do a report on a company without even talking or acknowledging their debt situation. How can we your clients who are relying at least partly on your advice reports etc. on some of these companies in your portfolios and now in a lot of ours fully trust some these reports. I fully realize times of changed dramatically very quickly but this seems to me like a very important fundamental that needs to be in all reports. I look forward to your response.

Q: In this market, is Absolute one to worry about. Is the dividend covered? Do they still have lots of cash? If there is a possibility they will cut the dividend, I dont want to see my investment cut in half with no dividend and I will bail now.

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan

This is just a comment but please feel free to deduct a question credit.

During difficult market times we send you questions so that we dont feel alone when markets are crashing. It's the time we need some "emotional support" and the Q & A provides just that for me.

Thank you kindly to you both for helping me navigate during these turbulent times. I bought GSY and I held even though it dropped after that.My cost was still in the region of about $28. I was tempted to sell when it dropped further but found solace in your answers to the stock. I am glad that its today up over 25%.... I can't thank you guys enough for providing me with the confidence to hang on to my positions and to cease opportunities during crazy market swings.

Once again, thank you and much appreciated.
Sincerely,
