Q: Hello Peter, with Alphabet's huge cash hoard and pressure on the company to control expenses, do you expect they might institute a dividend soon? Should they? Would the market reward that decision with a price increase, do you think?
Also, despite paying a premium of several extra dollars when I bought GOOGL (not GOOG) several years ago, I'm chagrined to see that my GOOGL shares now trade at several dollars less. Given that the GOOGL shares have voting rights that the GOOGs don't, I'm a bit puzzled. Do you think the old premium will return at some point?

Q: Peter; I asked their investor relations department re hold up- the below is his reply. Hello Rod
As shared in last Friday's Sangoma has signed an agreement to buy a
company called Star2Star https://www.sangoma.com/investor-relations/
The transaction meets the criteria for review by our exchange, the TSX-V,
and we submitted the necessary documents on January 29th. In the course
of their review the TSX-V may ask questions which the company will answer
but the timetable is governed by the exchange so we don't know exactly
when they will complete their review such that trading can recommence.
Regards
David

Q: Yesterday, you mentioned that index funds must sell their shares. The stock yesterday started at $66 and now it is below $58. From the 39.4M shares outstanding, 3.5M have been traded so far in 2 days.
Is there a magic volume number to which we can say the the funds have finished selling?
Was this expected to drop after opening because of the reason which I have stated?
Thanks

Q: Hi, Another question on CSU/TOI relationship. CSU still has direct/indirect ownership of Topicus - How much of the new co. shares are owned by CSU and would it reflect in CSU stock price, once TOI started trading ? By default, in addition to the Topicus shares received from spin out, as CSU shareholders, we also own the same % of Topicus? We are trying to figure out that while continue to own Constellation shares, what would be a reasonable position to add to Topicus (received thro' dividend). Thank You

Q: Hi, Total Topicus subordinate voting shares issued to public and outstanding are 39.4 million, per the press release. (On a fully diluted basis total issued and outstanding shares are 129.8 mln -balance 90.4 mln held by CSU and Parent co. Investors ). Just trying to understand if the float of shares available for Trading is only 39.4 mln shares ? If so, what is % of this held by Institutions/Insiders ? Any comments on Trading on the 1st day - Looks like following the range as suggested in your comments .
Also, are you planning to add TOI:CA symbol on 5i portal soon ... Thank You

Q: What is your opinion of Maxar Technologies. With the current interest in everything `space'. Maxr has a pretty decent P/S and P/E ratio.
ARK funds are also launching a new fund ARKX focused on `Space exploration companies'. Could you suggest which companies would be included in that EFT ?
lastly. SPCE has seen an absurd jump these last 2 days. Is this due to the ARK ETF or REDIT crowd jumping in and causing a short sqeeze.
Thanks and Have a wonderful day. !

Q: Topicus was due to start trading today but trading was halted first thing. According to a Financial Post news release the company has been advised by the Exchange that trading is expected to resume when markets open on February 2, with a board lot size of 100 subordinate voting shares. It says the initial board lot size was expected to be 1,000 subordinate voting shares. Could you please explain what this difference in subordinate voting shares means. Thanks for the great service.
