Q: Hi, I’m looking at the current 13% dividend for PKI. What is the likelihood of a cut? Their longer term guidance sounds optimistic in this environment. You mentioned M&A in your reply to Gregory. Have you any potential candidates in mind who would be interested? ATD is obvious but would the government approve? Anyone else? Thanks! Heather

Q: Management continues to rationalize operations and cut costs. A potentially painful share consolidation of 1 for 14 so the company can retain its NASDAQ listing.

Q: Hi 5i,

Would appreciate your thoughts on the recent offer by Advent International buy MAXR.

As a share holder should I consider this a done deal and sell? or is it worth hanging onto the shares in case there is a competing offer from another bidder for MAXR?

If the MAXR does ultimately get bought out, is there a similar company you could recommend to replace it in my portfolio?

Sorry for the multiple questions. Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance,

Greg C.

Q: From Disnat website:

Changes to the U.S. Taxation of Publicly traded partnerships (PTP)
starting January 1st, 2023 (Internal Revenue Code section 1446).
New US regulations taking effect on January 1, 2023, will result in new withholding taxes for sales of publicly traded partnerships by non-US account holders.
Once these rules take effect in 2023, when a non-US national sells an interest in a publicly traded partnership, 10% of the gross proceeds of the sale will be withheld. The withholding taxes will be remitted to the US Treasury, and the non-US national will be responsible for filing a US income tax return and claiming any potential refund of the amount withheld. 

Will BAM be affected by this knew legislation?
Thank you.

Q: My question is about share compensation. My understanding is that, share compensation is recorded at fair market value at the time of issue. I wonder how many companies recorded higher costs for share compensation and lower GAAP profits, given last year's run up in valuations? Year over year the amounts seem out of whack for many companies.
