Q: I'm holding a under weight position here and debating on closing it out and adding to my a&w position which would put me to an equal weight there. The fund has been totally silent on the Cara deal and all though the first quarter result showed positive signs of growth it was far from reflective in the share price. I am wondering if the Cara deal is not being viewed in a positive light for the fund.

Q: My understanding is that this company generates its revenue from the sale of fuel, beverages, pass by restaurants, car washes, ... leading to a diversified source of revenue. It is also my belief that most of these sales are generated when people stop to get gaz. While filling up their tank they get a car wash, they buy an ice cream... As a long term investor, I really question the viability of their future. I think that in 5 years, there will be more cars on the road; however, I also believe that hybrids/electrical vehicles will start to steal some of their market share. A loss of one customer not buying fuel (I feel) has rippling effects. That customer may not stop to eat at their restaurant, may not stop to buy an ice cream... impacting their entire revenue stream. In 10 (15) years, I think the problem will multiply, eventually questioning their entire business model.

This past quarter was great as recent acquisitions demonstrated benefits, such as savings due to synergies but the pain has yet to start. In contrast to competitive forces trying to push them out, they are about to experience an industry shift, which may slowly make them somewhat irrelevant.

Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.
