Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Dear 5i,

In your latest flash report April 13, 2020 you suggested that due to covid-19 there will likely be reduced EPS growth. You also mentioned there might be a dividend cut for conservatism. In your opinion is the dividend covered with reduced earnings expectations due to covid-19 challenges? If so, what percentage of earnings would be used to pay the current dividend if it not cut? If the dividend is cut, what do you think is reasonable?

thanks

Ian

Q: I have a question about Corporate Bonds that are now deemed 'junk bonds'. Bombardier is one example.
1. Is the primary risk associated with the company going into insolvency?
2. Is there a risk, like Dividends, that the Yields on those bonds can be changed / amended later on?
3. What are your thoughts on corporate bonds like Bombardier? Are there any corporate bonds that you see as a good holding to have?
