Q: Hi,
On September 4 in an answer to Ritwick's question, you said: "BCE did not cut its dividend in other times of crisis...".

I thought BCE cut its dividend by about half in 2008. It did raise the dividend again to previous trend levels in the subsequent year(s).

I vaguely recall at the time that the 2008 dividend cut was quite a dramatic move for a "widows and orphans' stock and of course no one could predict at the time the dividend would be reinstated the next year.

Cheers, Michael

Q: The Globe reports that Moody's just downgraded BCE. I understand that the downgrade means borrowing costs are higher. What else does it mean?

Do you think that BCE will have need to borrow money in the next couple of years.

Thanks a lot for your views.

Q: Hi team,
In march, I asked if ATD was priced for perfection. ATD then reached a high around $85.
I wonder now about my DOL shares. I wanted to sell in the last months, but did not, because the stock keeps going up. With a PE of 37, and a high around $137, I fear that any problem with China would affect their supply. Do you know if DOL go thru third party’s warehouses or have their own China contacts? Do you have any data on the percentage of their business from Chinese items- should be quite high?
Covid did not stop them, so should we be worried?
Thanks

Q: 5i Research has been always positive about BCE and its high yield as manageable and the Management is doing a good job through challenging times. BCE bonds last week were rated at just 2 notches above junk by Moody & S&P Globe ratings. I am wandering if you can justify your optimism in this light of downgrading. If so please provide reason for your optimism.
