Q: Boyd seems to be on quite a run here but i have seen no news and they don't report till later this month. given the impacts from the hurricanes, my understanding is that Boyd was anticipating a softer quarter here. Have i missed something - generally this one does run up prior to announcing and then tends to sell off after earnings. Given your views of the company, is this what is happening here.?

Q: Over early morning java, I read in the TO Star that TOY is acquiring GUND. The share price for TOY is like stable, aka no dramatic move, up or down. The purchase of GUND from a private entity seems to be viewed by the street as a yawn. What is your take of this buy of GUND by a favourite position of mine, TOY (thanks to 5iR)? ....Tom

Q: I think the combined Canadian and US short interest is still about 20%. Could you confirm most recent figures? Based on average daily volume, it would take nearly sixty days to cover. Given that the share price is close to a 52-week low, do you expect that the short positions will be covered soon and if this might spur a recovery in the share price if not an outright short squeeze? I'm just 5% down on a half position and planning to hold. Would you add a bit if it drops further?

Q: Good morning:
I own a 3.5% position in Fiera, primarily for the dividend and non-bank financial exposure. I'm puzzled that Fiera has not declared its quarterly dividend yet. As the last dividend was declared in November, I was expecting the next one to come in February. Understanding dividends are at the discretion of the board, I wonder if there is a reason why we don't have the dividend advice, or is this is "just a Fiera thing?"
Thank you and have a fine day!
Geoff

Q: Have Couche Tard on my watch list for a market pullback, but in the back of my mind I'm a little concerned about the long term impact of the switch to electric and/or self driving vehicles. Do you have a sense how much of their revenue is tied to fuel and percentage of their stores tied to gas retail?

Should I be worried about technology disruption here? I tend to hold shares long term if possible.
