Q: Would you agree with the below?

Message to Shareholders (VAT)

The third quarter of 2019 continued to be an exceptionally difficult period for energy investors, as the upstream oil and gas sector traded down to multi-year lows and significantly underperformed the broader equity market. Vermilion was not spared. Our stock price declined over 30% during the quarter, bringing our current dividend yield to approximately 14%. While we are certainly disappointed with our share price performance, we would like to stress that Vermilion's dividend policy is not based on the market price of our shares. Our dividend policy is based on the fundamental economic sustainability and free cash flow generation of our business, which remains strong.
Is this statement typical of the expected ?
As per cash flow, their approach dividend and fundamental, at current oil and gas prices how would you rate the dividend sustainability ?
thanks

Q: Hi there,

I already own a position in KL and was looking to either split the position and put the other half in a small cap gold. Which would you recommend? I was thinking ASR or WDO - or is there a better option than these 2 names?

Thank you!

Q: If you didn’t have a position in MX right now would you start one now after their quarterly results, ...please explain why or why not?
FYI I am looking for growth and I need a holding in this sector and have at least a 5 year time horizon. If you have other suggestions that would be great also.

Q: Hi, What's your take on BCE qurater ? Looks like the results were in line with estimates and subscribers addition were much higher than expected. Don't understand why stock is lower. Based on results/outlook, is it safe to top up the present 4% position to 5% at these levels, for income and some growth ? Thanks
