Q: I'm a happy owner in CTS, but if anyone asked why I own them, I'm not sure I'd have a good answer other than referencing 5i...

Can you sum up quickly what they do, what differentiates them and why their stock price has done so well lately? What will they need to do to keep the momentum running (short of not messing up).

Q: Good morning. Watching Saputo ease after recent annual reporting. Encouraging that there didn't appear to be much news slippage prior to the release.

Interested to know what the current forward p/e estimates are for some of the consumer defensive names including SAP, L, WN, PBH, HLF and MFI.

Also could you please rank in terms of estimated dividend growth going forward - best to least.

Thanks so much!

Q: One of your answers re: DND management-led takeover was "management-led takeovers are not as good as arbitrage plays as third-party overtures. Financing is at times an issue, as it is relatively easy for management to 'walk' away from the proposal and just go back to how things were and return to the status quo". In the past few years, would you list the companies whose management-led takeover have been successful or have walked away?
