Q: Kulicke and Soffa KLIC.us, a provider to the Semiconductor industry, looks interesting. I wonder about its vulnerability to cheaper imports. Does KLIC have a domestic SERVICES business insulated from foreign companies? Does it have good free cash flow and manageable debt? Is KLIC subject to cyclicality as extreme as foundries are? I hold LAM Research LRCX so would I be duplicating with KLIC, do you think?

Q: I've been coasting along with Manulife for a little over a year and am thinking about bailing. Other than higher interest rates (which haven't helped so far), do you see any catalyst in the next year that should move the stock higher? What other financial would you replace it with if you were to sell (the only Canadian bank I currently own is TD for 2.6% of portfolio).

Thanks

Q: I understand that the key criterion for evaluating a company’s ability to continue to pay a dividend is “ free cash flow”.

1. What is ENB’s free cash flow?
2. What is the dividend payout ratio?
3. Is free cash flow projected to grow over the next 3 years?
4. I looked for this information on your “profile “ page for ENB.
I did find 5 yr dividend growth 17.48 ... is that a percentage number for that time period?
I did find price to cash flow but not the information I was looking for.

Can you help me both with the information requested and provide some guidance in how best to interpret and use the profile information.

Thanks for all your help here.
