Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,

Gold seems to be doing well in these uncertain times, as it has been touted to be, a safe haven. I have read many of the Q&A database but I am not sure if the following has been asked. Few Gold companies provide dividends but I am attracted to those that do, as dividends provide confidence on the company. FNV is one.

Do you think that in the current environment (rising Gold prices, uncertainty, increased demand) that those dividend producing Gold companies might increase their dividends ? If so, do you have one or two that might be the most likely to do so ? (Or, ... one or two that might initiate a dividend - please subtract 2 questions).

Thanks for your rock hard committment to your clients during these strange times. VERY re-assuring.

Q: what do you think of PSi as a buy right now?
how long can they sing this out.
is this company 100% related to the oil sector?

Q: Is the dividend safe at Acadian? They regularly pay out more in dividends than their cash flow can cover. They also have high debt ($100M\) and smaller market cap of $250M. Can they continue this in the current economic environment?

Q: I am only 2% invested in REITs with BPY.UN and FCR.UN but will add more with time and when some consistency returns to market. Looking at my US cash balance I should be taking advantage of this investment market in a 'sane' way for a retired person. I researched this company and from what I read, mainly from Morningstar, it looks fine for me given it is a US dividend aristocrat as of last February and does support my need for cash flow.

May I have your opinion on this company?

Thanks....
