Debenture (JE.DB) runs until 2017. While not the strongest credit, what are your thoughts on the risk/reward for a small weighting? Have several different bond issues outstanding and all trade at high-yields to maturity and there has been some questioning of the company’s ability to survive. A small position would be rewarding compared to a money market investment, just as long as you can live with the volatility. Tweet finance |

With higher natural gas, there is a potential for a rebound. Have been suffering from a too strong growth which they have to finance. Had to cut the dividend and unfortunately this puts a pall on the stock for a considerable period of time. It will be 2 or 3 quarters yet before you see a significant improvement in the share price.

They addressed the rumours about not going to be able to make their numbers and having to cut the dividend again. The stock bounced but it is still well down from where it was. Payout ratio is well over 100% and the yield is 18% and he doesn’t think this can be sustained forever but they said they would be growing into their dividend by the end of fiscal 2014. Doesn’t like the business model. A risky hold. Tweet finance |

SHORT. Has respect for what they have done growing the company in their revenues and customer base but fundamentally it is being overvalued. Everyone thinks it is a utility company. Do door-to-door sales for locking in gas and electricity prices and hedge on making margins. Have 4 million customers and lose about a quarter of their customers every year through non-renewal of contracts. Dividend yield of 15.78% which is unsustainable. Payout is way over 100%.

Sold his holdings a few months ago. Didn’t like the way the business was communicating. Doesn’t understand the derivatives on their balance sheet. Yield of 16.3% so you can probably bet that the yield is going to come down. Tweet finance |

Resells natural gas. With natural gas so cheap right now, the incentive for customers to change to a reseller just isn’t there. Believes the dividend was cut in half in January but is still at 16% and is very much in doubt. In his view, this is a broken model. Tweet finance |

Owns some convertible bonds. Nat Gas price has been horrid for the last few years. They are working in a very tough environment. With the cut in the dividend, they should be fine. Cash flow is positive. Tweet finance |

Has a small Short position in this. A chunk of their business is related to the consumer side, encouraging consumers to take on fixed price natural gas contracts and this has not done so well. It has brought their payout ratio close to 100%. Another chunk though is wholesaling electricity and this part has held up quite well. Tweet finance |

People buy the stock because of the dividend and because it is high. Don’t buy something solely for the dividend when it is north of 7%. He would have to look into the debenture which the caller asked about. Tweet finance |

14% yield. Investors are starting to question whether it is sustainable. Company has stuck to its word of paying out $1.24 until the end of the fiscal year (March). They have a levered balance sheet. At the end of the day it is a good company but you have to question the distribution. If you believe in the business model, it probably won’t drop much when the dividend is cut. Tweet finance |

Near 52 week lows. Looking at the big picture, there is a potential for more down side, but he would be ok accumulating here for the dividends. Tweet finance |

People are concerned with the yield. It is extremely high and people are wondering if they are going to be able to maintain it. The market is a little bit suspect. Few analysts cover this stock. Over all he thinks they set some growth initiatives and came up a little short over the last few quarters. He would be looking at ECI-T (8%). Tweet finance |

This is a business that sells gas and energy contracts to residences and commercial customers. With the lower gas prices, they are getting lower margins on their renewals. Also, they are combating attrition. He is a little concerned about the sustainability of the 11.9% dividend. Tweet finance |
