Q: RE: management ownership (or large shareholder) and compensation

Thank you again for your service. It's a great source of knowledge and investment ideas.

My question is about management ownership (or large shareholder) and compensation. Where can I find information about this in the filings ? Maybe there is a good website ? (I know Bloomberg is good for the ownership part but as many small investors, I really can't justify the fee). Thank you.
Regards,
Pierre

Q: Peter,

Can you take a look at Entrec Transportation Systems Inc. (ENT). Looks like nice growing small cap name in the oil service space (heavy hauling and lifting).

Thanks,

Q: Parkland Fuel (PKI). I am just starting to take "ownership" of my portfolio and I hardly have financial analyst skills. However, I noticed the following about Parkland:
- it is trading near its 52 week high
- it had over $200 million in intangibles on its balance sheet
- its P/E ratio seems high and the forward P/E is less
- its dividend exceeds its profit. I don't really understand the theory of ignoring non-cash expenses in determining an appropriate distribution amount, unless the actual requirement for repair/replacement is less than the recorded distribution.

Am I being too cautious?
