Q: After the failure of the harvest, it is undergoing pressure, and also from the maple sugar side. However, at $ 4.83 (close on Thursday) it now has a dividend over 7%. I know it isn't a growth stock, and I know it has high debt - notwithstanding that, for a dividend investor is this a reasonable safe dividend? Also, the second part of my question is whether there is SOME growth to be expected to return to its historical levels after a year or two when (hopefully) the problems are in the proverbial rear-view mirror?
Thanks! … Paul K

Q: From the little information I was able to dig up, it would seem that Mix Telematics is among the top providers of cloud-based SaaS for tracking fleets of commercial vehicles worldwide. It also appears that its share price is currently at bargain levels compared to its competitors. Is there something fundamentally amiss with this company or is the problem a temporary issue which would be to my advantage to exploit by buying right now?

Q: In a recent answer to a question on an oil company, you mentioned that it is hard to be optimistic on a company if you don't like the management team. So my question is, which of the management teams in the oil sector would you want to align yourself with, and why? Alternatively, which of the management teams would you not align yourself with? Please deduct as many credits as necessary to fully answer my question. Thank You.

Q: Your Q&A goes back a while on cup.u. My cost base is negligible (have owned for 20+ years) and would therefore be hit with a substantial capital gain. I hold it for it's US$ dividend payments of 4.1%. It has a payout ratio of 93% over 5 years and I do not see much growth in the name.
Would you be comfortable holding for income and re-investing the dividends into other US co's that have a greater growth outlook?
Advise me of any potential red flags that I may be missing.
Thank you,
Mike
