Q: Peter,
Thanks to 5i we purchased CSU shares some years ago. As of close of business yesterday the shares had risen 510%. (I sold some shares last year when the weighting became to high). Now Mr. Rosen is predicting a crash or a recession. He seems to be counselling selling shares to raise cash. However why would I sell my hard won shares because of Mr. Rosen’s predictions? Investors need to think of themselves as owners of a business not “riverboat gamblers” going to get rich quick. I can assure the members that the officers of CSU are not selling their shares because Mr. Rosen is calling a market top. I once read somewhere that making predictions is a bit like spitting into the wind - you got to accept there will be a little spit on the toe. In Mr. Rosen’s case he seems to be going for a “spit polish” - maybe on both shoes!
Thanks for all you do
Jim

Q: Needless to say, as a shareholder since the 1980's, I was less than pleased to see the LEON family trust battles as front page news in Saturday's Fin Post. I suppose this sort of issue was inevitable, but it should really have no effect on day to day operations, correct? It's a "quiet" stock to begin with and now I know why the share price has been languishing, but it just enhances my DRIP's.
