Q: Follow up on ET. I thought the drop was a reaction to the pre-earning announcement on the 23rd about reviewing the dividend and slowing business and that the price cuts were reactions to that. Thank-you.

Q: I'm out of touch with big broadcasting technology, but I can quite easily livestream on many platforms. Is Evertz well adapted to modern/future broadcast solutions? How do you think they have fared during covid? Would customer needs have changed, i.e. more demand?

Q: I hold the following shares (among others) in my various (RSP & TFSA) accounts. I'm a buy-and-hold investor, strongly leaning to dividend payors or preferably dividend-increasers.
These companies have all recently cut or suspended dividends, either as Covid-19 responses or otherwise.
ET have not cut or suspended (yet), but neither ET nor CSW have paid recent special dividends as they sometimes have in the past.
I purchased these originally on the strength of the companies' long-term potential, management strength and abilities, and growth or at least sustainability.
How would you rank or position these now in light of recent dividend cuts or suspensions, given that they are all underwater, some significantly, or at best more or less flat (ET), after mostly holding periods of 5 years or longer?
Which ones is it time to dump?

Q: My tech exposure consists of MSFT,ENGH and ET. All have been held for many years and have become multi-baggers as well as producing growing divys. Do you see any holes in my tech coverage? Would you trim and add a new position or leave as is? Thanks Ron
Q: Hi Peter.
What is your thoughts on Evertz business and the current valuation.
They generate alot of free cash flow, have no debt, post high returns on invested capital and have shown modest growth.
Why does the market not give this tech beauty a little more love ? Seems like the price gets "stuck" and there is not a fundamental group of investors behind the equity who will bridge the value into the price. Your thoughts please.
Respect

Q: Hello, I am planning to sell one of either ET or CAE or NWC to generate cash for the purchase of DocuSign. Which one of the these three would you sell? I understand that they are all good companies currently held in the 5i model portfolios, but I can't make up my mind. Regards, Gervais

Q: Hello 5i,
As a pensioner who requires dividends for my income, I have been looking at the above names to potentially add over the next year or so. It is my belief (uneducated guess) that it might take that long before we see any solid bottom and subsequent recovery begin.
In that vein, out of the above, how would you rank these based on the following:
1. Safety of company through a one year to 16 month recession.
2. Safety of the dividend through this same period.
3. Confidence in management team
4. Sector vulnerability
5. Value at current levels
6. Any other considerations, warnings or caveats for any of these ??
i.e. some of these have a decent 5i rating (B or higher), but the rating dates back to 2019, some as early as the summer.
And, finally, are there any suggestions you might have that are not on this list that deserve serious consideration in place of any of the above?
I am in no rush for an answer so take as long as you need to consider this question and deduct as many credits as you see fit - I should have enough to cover it. I hope that this question might also prove beneficial to other 5i members who rely on dividends for income.
All the best to everyone in this very trying and uncertain time!!! Be safe above all!!
Thanks to all at 5i!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: What would be your top picks in this environment meeting these criterias: low debt, low payout, 3%+ yield. 5 names+ would be great. Long term investment. No financials or real estate. Thank you!
Q: Evertz is approaching its long-term lower trend line, is now a good time to start a position or, in consideration of global growth worries, is waiting the best course? Does its line of business and North American focus make it to any degree recession-resistant, or is the world's move away from the traditional television paradigm (studios, synchonized feeds, etc.) going to put a cap on growth?

Q: I am assuming that a company with lots of cash can withstand a major pullback better that a company carrying a lot of debt. could you give me 5 or 6 companies any sector with lots of cash that could withstand a market correction with less impact to their share value?.
thanks Dave
thanks Dave
Q: Could you please comment on earnings. Cash and working capital seem much lower as compared to last year, could you explain this for me. Also a comment on the stated backlog? Did you listen / hear anything of interest on the conference call?
Q: Just a follow to my question about my income portfolio.
Could you also add two Canadian tech stocks with a secure and attractive dividend.
Thanks
