Q: I have these oil and gas companies, a number of them since covid so have enjoyed good dividends and lots of upside. I have recently read about being in or going into a commodity super cycle, as well as the idea of the "Halo" trade which you have written about. So the question for me is about selling - something I am not good at! When looking at the charts of many of these stocks they have long cycles of going up and then down quite severely over a six to nine year cycle. What do we look for as far as it being time to sell? Are we getting to that peak now or do you think we have a long runway still to come? Thanks so much?

Q: Looking for a generous dividend with some growth and reasonable volatility for a long term hold. Which would you suggest? Are there tax issues with a royalty company like FRU?

Q: I own FRU in a TFSA and although I appreciate the high dividend associated with this stock, I now understand that the dividend is not covered by either its Earnings or Cashflows.

Q1. With the NAV of the stock significantly down over the past few years and the dividend not being covered by either the Earnings or Cashflows, should I be worried about the relative safety of the dividend?

Q2. What are your thoughts on continuing to hold FRU in a TFSA and should a holder of FRU just cut their loss and replace FRU with some other stock?

Q3. What is your best idea as a FRU replacement should I need to sell FRU and replace it with another stock or ETF in the sector?

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Francesco
