Q: Hi team:

Metro has been going up in the last week
I have been holding it for awhile and is barely breaking even
(for income with hope of a small capital gain)
is there any news to account for the small surge in price ?

would you recommend another stock to replace it in the same industry?
Thanks
Michael

Q: Howdy! The Kiki Delaney chapter in "Market Masters" has inspired me to invest more in Quebec-based equities. I already have BCE, CAE, CNR & GUD. Please rank the top 3 in this list (or other Quebec-based equities that I didn't list) to add right now purely on long-term (3-5 yrs) appreciation (value + dividends).
Thank you,
David L

Q: Hi, i am looking to add some of these names to my portfolio. I want long term growth. I am young and can hold 5 years plus. Please ignore sector diversification. Can you rank best to worst. Can you also comment on significant valuation differences? IE MG versus NFI or WPK. Is it simply business earnings stability? Because it appears growth in Magna earnings is quite significant even relative to NFI or WPK.

Q: In March 2017 Metro had 32,227,000 Class A Multiple Voting Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. ("Couche-Tard"), representing approximately 21.81% of the issued and outstanding Class A Multiple Voting Shares of Couche-Tard.
Do you think ATD.B went down today as some concern that Metro sells some of their shares to finance the merger with PJC.A?

Q: Saputo earnings were 0.42 cents per share. Can you tell me what the expectations were and what the is the new current P/E ratio? Google Finance doesn't seem to adjust the P/E ratio according the recent earnings. Do you think Metro would be a good switch? Seems like Saputo is starting a downtrend whereas Loblaws and Metro are in uptrends? I'm not looking for confirmation, but rather for flaws in my observations.

Q: Could you compare Loblaw and Metro? Loblaw is in the 5i Income portfolio, but I am somewhat more inclined toward MRU. I like the ongoing contribution to MRU's bottom line from its ATD.B shares and due to current share price weakness, MRU looks to at an attractive entry point. As always, I would appreciate your perspective.

Q: I used to own both Kruger, Supervalue, Metro but sold a year ago when it was clear that they would be hit over the past year by food deflation. I believe it is time to start buying on value. How would you rank the three? Your opinion may alter my initial thought of buying equal weights of each.
