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

Q: Hello 5i,
David Burman in the G&M today suggests selling Couche-Tard if Metro sells its shares in it. With the potential Metro/Jean Coutu merger, what if any action, and when, should investors take with their Couche-Tard holdings? For context, I own Couche-Tard, Loblaw and Northwest Company in consumer staples.
Thank you, Michael

Q: Good morning,
Bearish article on Couche Tard in the Globd this morning. Berman cites Metro would dump its significant stake in ATD in order to find the Jean Coutu acquisition. Je suggests exiting the stock. I just I Have held couche tard for the better part of 18 months and stock only drifting lower.
Please comment. Is couche tard still viewed as a high conviction stock by 5i?
Thank you
Karim

Q: Please discuss share price issues in terms of the cost per share. Using CSU as a specific example, their price is nudging $700, which effectively means that an investor either has to have a rather large portfolio in order to buy in blocks of 100 shares and stay within reasonable "position" limits, or buy only part blocks, say 5 or 10 shares. Is there any real downside to buying such small partial blocks? What would make management NOT split the shares when certain levels are reached (such as my NA shares did not too long ago)?

Thanks for your continuing education!
