Q: Follow up to my previous question...

You mentioned WCN has more economic sensitivity than people think.

Does that mean economic sensitivity as a positive (example, business will improve as the economy improves; or economic sensitivity as a negative cuz rising interest rates will hurt WCN's balance sheet?

Thanks.

Q: Needless to say, as a shareholder since the 1980's, I was less than pleased to see the LEON family trust battles as front page news in Saturday's Fin Post. I suppose this sort of issue was inevitable, but it should really have no effect on day to day operations, correct? It's a "quiet" stock to begin with and now I know why the share price has been languishing, but it just enhances my DRIP's.

Q: I am wondering why your BEPORT is so high in Materials and Industrials and why it holds no Telecommunications, Utilities or Real Estate? I believe that most of 5i's recommendations have a much lower percentage in Materials and Industrials and suggest that most people hold stocks in all eleven sectors.
