Q: Hi 5i. I think the figure you like to use to measure a company's dividend payout is the ratio of dividend to free cash flow. I think Peter even wrote about this recently in the FP. For the above two companies, could you please tell me what the dividend-to-free cash flow currently is? Is it following a perceptible trend of rising or falling?

Q: I looked at this company many years ago and was intrigued by the dividend... And the fact of who doesn't like or need sugar...!

- Never did pull the trigger to buy...
- Recently read some news and now back on the radar...

- What are your thoughts near and long term?

- Is it a safe dividend play to pack away ?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5 iteam,

Rogers Sugar was a good pick for us, may be the timing was right. Now, It is time for us to trade it for another company that have a bit more growth. Your thought on swapping this name for Maple Leaf Foods /Tyson Foods or Calmaine/ Saputo.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I enjoyed reading your latest market report on the potential for decreasing inflation, and am thinking of tweaking some sector realignment to capture this possibility.
I have had a good 2-3 year run with RSI but their earning do not look good so am planning on selling this. Will then redeploy funds into utilities which are underweight currently. Does this approach make sense for an income investor?

Q: After the failure of the harvest, it is undergoing pressure, and also from the maple sugar side. However, at $ 4.83 (close on Thursday) it now has a dividend over 7%. I know it isn't a growth stock, and I know it has high debt - notwithstanding that, for a dividend investor is this a reasonable safe dividend? Also, the second part of my question is whether there is SOME growth to be expected to return to its historical levels after a year or two when (hopefully) the problems are in the proverbial rear-view mirror?
Thanks! … Paul K
