Q: Considering that Valener has dropped in price and that there are price target reductions is this a 'buying' opportunity?

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.
