Q: Hello, since the beginning of the year Altria (MO) stock has decreased by more than 20% in value. Has the time come to let it go? Do you believe there is a possibility that Altria could get into the Marijuana / Cannabis business? In your opinion, what would be the best 3 or 4 alternatives to (MO) in the US non cyclical sector (consumer defensive sector) right now? Thanks, Gervais

Q: You stated earlier, in 2017, that BSO has a low payout ratio. However its most recent financial statement over 2017 stated that its 60 cents dividend was 100 per cent return of capital. Are we getting a high dividend here to be punished with a capital loss? Should we stay away from BSO? Hard to know what is happening with its NAV at the moment.

Q: May I please have your thoughs on today's selloff, and its sizable decline since its February highs. I realize it has been a victim of the Trump tariff talks, but is there any real concern here for a long-term investor? I was thinking of adding to my position since it has fallen to 2.8% of my portfolio, or would it be advisable to allocate new funds elsewhere?
