Q: I was thinking of buying into A&W consistently over the next 3 to 5 years. What do you think about having good old A&W as a very long term holding?
They keep raising the dividend and adding new stores to the Royalty Pool every year. I also personally love their food. I do not want to trade a lot. Looking more so to buy and hold.
It is 2020 now and I can see A&W lasting for at least another 15-years with positive SSSG. Was hoping on owning this company until 2060.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Q: When would it be a wise decision to also list on the US Nasdaq platform rather than only on the TSX exchange. There are financial costs and other issues that must be taken into consideration but also being listed in the US would improve the stock price.

Q: Happy New Year gentlemen.
I know it is an apples to oranges comparison, but where would you deploy an infusion of cash for a 10 year hold? Already hold both, looking more at growth than income at this point.
Thanks

What are the consequences of holding a US stock in a can funds TFSA? Is it better to hold in an open account?

Q: There wasn't much info given on Enghouse's purchase of Dialogic. They acquired it for 1 times sales which seems low. Do you know if the low on that metric is offset by something like low or no profitability, slowing sales, etc?

How do you see GIL for new purchases today? Any key BE names other than this one I should focus on now given market conditions today?

Q: An article in the Fin Post calls Marketaxess the undisputed champion in the S&P financial index for the last decade. Your only comment on this company was in March,2018. The company appeared to have done very well up till then. The CEO was even interviewed that year by Crammer on his show. As I understood that interview, MKTX is sensitive to interest rates, yet it continues to rise in value in this low interest environment. Do you think MKTX is a safe way to have "bond" exposure? Belated season's greetings. Lionel
