Q: MND continues to spiral. I reviewed all of your responses over the past 3 months of inquiries about MND (including my own) and the general thrust is that patience is required and MND's performance needs to improve in this Q. I received the same advice for AVO and CXR and got crushed. I sometimes wonder about the fact that your firm does not actually hold these securities which supposedly gives you an unbiased position. Perhaps if you did hold the security in question, your "patience" would be tested with intensified pressure. At any rate, is MND still a keeper?

Q: I find it difficult to understand I5s and Motely Fool Canada favorable views on Couche Tard. With more fuel efficient and battery powered vehicles, the demand for fuel should be reduced over the long term. Fuel sales is about 40 % of Couche Tard's revenue. Why are you enthusiastic about the stock? What am I missing?

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on Nike? I read their quarterly report and I personally believe that although they have an increase in competition from Adidas and Under Armour, that investor's are overly pessimistic. Nike is a great brand and if you look back long enough; have they not created tremendous amounts of share holder value?
