Investment Q&A

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

Q: you seem to get a question on couche tard everytime it declines, and i know it is one of your favorites.
so is the recent decline due to sector rotation, cdn dollar strength, margins on gas etc or what.
i would think with the recent purchse of esso stations in mtl, possible bidding on valero and loblaws stations the stock would be rising, also most targets are in the 70 dollar range. dave

Q: When I look at the last 10 years of Cineplex data, I see a plodding yearly price increase without any particularly exciting price swings, a continuous series of modest quarterly profits with few exceptions, a series of fairly regular dividend increases - in a word DULL!

Do you think that they'll continue to be similarly dull? Can you point me to 4 or 5 companies that might be similarly dull over the next 3 to 5 years? I could use some dull (other than financials, where I'm a bit over-weight) to add to my portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: I hold a small position in L currently up 53% and am in a position to double it or add ATD.B to my well diversified portfolio. My focus is dividends with some growth. What is your recommendation at this time?

Thank you for your valued opinion.

Q: Peter, I'm looking to invest in one of the three companies above. I won't need to touch the investment for 5 - 10 years, and I would be content with an average annual return of 6 percent (including dividends). Please rank these three in order, based on the combined criteria of capital preservation and the goal of achieving the hoped-for 6% or better. (My portfolio is otherwise diversified.) Thank you.

Q: Hi team, I know you've mentioned that you don't like dual-class shares. But don't you think that in ATD's case it has actually worked very well? The stock has gone up 500+% in 5 years. Maybe this wouldn't have been achieved had the founders not have had the 10 vs. 1 votes. They obviously have done an excellent job. Your comments pls.
Thank you,
Silvia

Q: i am reading all your answers to couche tard questions as the stock gets hammered day after day, i have added a few hundred shares each day as it keeps dropping, now own 4000 shares. my question is could there possibly be something else going on other than the 2 class of shares-- the price of oil, the cdn. dollar etc etc. some downgrades somewhere i have not seen, i agree with you it makes no sense but maybe we are all missing something. dave

Q: Hello Peter,
I have done well on bombardier and was thinking of selling my position and adding to alimentation couche tard to bring to 5% weight given the current debate on the control structure. The stock is down on the news and was wondering if the switch would make sense given Bombardier is more speculative, but 5% weighting of couche tard makes me a bit nervous. Please advise.

Q: Hi,
I may have timed out in my last attempt to ask this question so please ignore it if it's still in the queue.

I'm looking to add either PBH or ATD.B. I currently only own Loblaws in this space. Do you have a preference for a long term hold in an RRSP account?

Thank you,

Robert
