Q: Hello Team,

I'm about 5-6 years away from retirement and have starting to move some of my growth portfolio into dividend paying stocks. Currently I have 25 different holdings in my account (mostly your growth portfolio mixed with a few of your favourite US names). I have 11% of my portfolio in 3 dividend stocks, T, CJ and BEP.un. Would you be okay holding these 3 or do you suggest having more (or less) individual stock holdings for dividends. My goal is to average at least 6% yield. Thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i.

I think your preferred measure for a company's dividend payout ratio is to compare it to operating cash flow. (Or is it free cash flow? Please clarify.)

What is CJ's current payout ratio using your preferred measure? And, is it possible to see this cash flow figure in 5i's company profiles?

Q: Hello Team,

I currently do not have any pure dividend stocks and I'm looking at purchasing one to start. I did a bit of research and came up with the above list, are you able to rank them in order plus add your 2 favorites into the list (if they are not already included). Looking at a minimum of a 6% yield with the possibility of say a 30% return over the next 3-5 years. (setting my goals high). Thanks!

Q: My current yield on this is 19 percent which is hard to replace. My concern is that they can’t afford to pay the dividend and are using debt to make up the shortfall. Is there a possibility of a dividend cut here and at what price oil price should it be safe ? How does the debt look ?

Q: CJ announced Q2 Financial & Operating results. I am confused that Prod Vol only dropped 700 boe of about 22000 boe. But the Revenue dropped 40% compared to 2022 Q2 along with other financial components. I am surprised with such mismatch but market seems to ignore it. Please review and advise what am I missing here.

Q: If you held the following smaller cap stocks in positions of 0.5% to 1.0% of your total stock portfolio, and wanted to reduce the number of holdings by selling several of them and using the money to add to others, which ones would you sell and which ones would you add to: ACQ, ADEN, AEP, AND, CHW, CJ, DCM, ECN, GEO, HPS.A, LNF, NOA, PRL, QIPT, RCH, RET.A, SFC, STLC, SVI, TVE, WELL, XTC. Assume overall portfolio is well diversified so sectors not a consideration, and that this is the riskier part of portfolio, so, higher risk is fine. Would be great if you could pare this list of 22 stocks down to about 10-15. Thanks.
