Q: Hi Peter, wondering about your views post-covid and now sports slowly coming back (i.e. demand for pizza 73)? Do you still see same store sales anemic? Not stock price great last 3 years and back to its 2008 low ... how has management & financials ( i.e. earnings per share) responded this post-covid (i.e. was it similar or better than what they did in 08 comparisons)? Would you classify this company undervalued (i.e. enough cash flow, assets doing well or not vs debt)? Thanks!

Q: This is a follow up question regarding Boston Pizza, as I too bought shares in bpf.un many years ago for income, and at a much much higher Avg cost than where it is today. As the dividend has been suspended, and the business has not been growing as highlighted in your most recent report on the company, I am considering selling and taking my loss. My only question is if there might be a buyout of this company by a stronger competitor? Cara for example? Or does Jim Treliving have the resources to take the company private?

Q: I bought shares in this company many years ago in my registered account primarily for income. Would you recommend that I continue to hold them? If not what would you replace it with assuming I want to have a company that provides a dividend yield of at least 3% ?

Q: ALS announced today the purchase of the remainder of Liberty metals and Mining. ALS reportes it will be extremely accretive, yet it also says that the royalties will decline to 0 by 2030 with the progressive reduction of coal. Is this a good deal? It feels like they are buying cash flow for the short term to cover up problems elsewhere. Why would one buy a business that has declining cash flow, ultimately to zero? The stock price went up today, but I wonder if this is just traders....

Q: Further to the question related to the dividend cut for CDZ, is it safe to assume the cut is related to the associated dividend cuts from the underlying securities? And if that is true, then can we assume that once these securities reinstate their dividends, then the CDZ dividend will, in turn, rebound?

OR, is it a case whereby the ETF is periodically reconstituted and it is a fresh start for the underlying securities and we have to wait for the natural progression of dividend increases related to these "new" underlying securities? In this case how long does an individual security have to be "off-side" to be turfed from the ETF?

Thanks for helping me understand...Steve
