Q: One of your answers re: DND management-led takeover was "management-led takeovers are not as good as arbitrage plays as third-party overtures. Financing is at times an issue, as it is relatively easy for management to 'walk' away from the proposal and just go back to how things were and return to the status quo". In the past few years, would you list the companies whose management-led takeover have been successful or have walked away?

Q: Could you provide any up- dated assessment you may have re. Novo Nordisk in light of FDA approval of their obesity drug Wegovy. The monthly cost of a regimen of the drug is apparently $800.00 ( without insurance ) . But with 100 million obese Americans and obesity increasing risk factors for many other diseases, might it be a reasonable speculation that insurers may cover the drug at some point. Any sense of how much of this potential might be already factored in and how much might be a potential game changer if it plays out successfully over time?
Thank-you
Q: I see you are sitting on over 7% cash in the Income Portfolio. Any plans to deploy these funds in the short term....or is this strategic?
I notice the Balanced Portfolio is at 1% cash, while the Growth Portfolio is at 6% cash.
To my way of thinking, I can understand the Growth Portfolio having a higher cash balance due to the more volatile nature of the fund and wanting more cash, so as to take advantage of opportunities that may arise. But...I would have thought the most conservative fund, the Income Portfolio, would have the least amount of cash, so as to generate the most income at the steadiest level.
Q: I am up 141% on this stock and it is approaching 7% of my Canadian stock portfolio. While I do not need to sell a portion of it, does a 7% size begin to concern you?
