Q: Hi Peter and Staff:
More of a comment than anything else . First a thank you - I would not have hung in for such a large gain if you had not been comfortable enough to leave it in your portfolio.
I do wish that other than situations like Concordia where you decide you cannot stay in due to a bad situation that you would not drop good companies unless you added your replacement at the same time - I follow your strategy of not sitting in cash - When you toss a stock from your portfolio without a replacement despite comments you make that there is nothing wrong , I think you leave us scratching our heads as to why you feel it is so important to drop it to sit in cash . For one thing you may add a stock that we already own so we would not have sold ADW or you may add one we are not 100 percent sold on and would only sell 1/2 of Adw and buy the replacement for a 1/2 entry .
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Good morning,
If I sell ADW.A (which I am tempted to do) as I am trying to follow the Income Portfolio as well as the Bal. Eq. Portfolio I will need about a 5% ($35000) position in another equity to replenish the Consumer Staples sector. Currently hold ATD.B, DOL, L, and PBH. Thanks as always for your insightful responses.

Q: Hello 5i!

Knowing that SHOP is expensive on a PE basis, what is it's Price to Sales ratio? How does that compare to the other FANG stocks? (Facebook, Amazon, Nextflix and Google). Do you consider it reasonably price on that metric?

Looking forward to the 5i Event tomorrow!

Regards,
Angelo

Q: Savaria peaked in October and has been going down since then. With today's loss it's reached the -10% mark where I usually think about selling stocks (I was stung by nortel and JDS uniphase during the dot com days and vowed not to ever again follow a stock down too far). I know this stock is a favorite of yours so could you tell me what might reverse this steady downward momentum?

Q: I own these three, but am very disappointed in cpg. I was thinking of selling it and topping up the other two. Do you think cpg will recover? Your opinion please.

Q: Good day!

With the recent misstep by McDonald's in allowing nuts in their restaurants and no longer claiming nut free space, do you think this may have a positive impact on A&W which is nut free? Could the impact be significant in store sales? McDonald's seems to be receiving a lot of backlash from this.

Q: Is there some news in DHs strategic review which would account for the lathe drop yesterday and today? Is it worth holding any longer and if you had to sell Dh or Xtc which would you let go first and why?
Thank you.

Q: Just a quick comment and suggestion on Tucows. I've held on to Tucows since last year to see how well their U.S. wireless carrier product Ting would contribute to growth. Something I didn't expect as a growth kicker is that their higher valuation gives them more leverage to consolidate other domain service providers into their core business. TC is up 15% this morning as they're buying a competitor. Might be worth taking a look again to add to a growth portfolio and would be great if you could do a report on them!

Thanks for the excellent service as always.
