Q: Given the high price of CSU shares, I am wondering how many investors like me are out there - those that held between 5 and 30 shares CSU shares which resulted in our receiving a rather insignificant number of Topicus shares. If your predictions of $50 per Topicus shares holds, do you anticipate there being a large number of small odd-lots of Topicus shares being sold and if so, will this depress the IPO price? Or are most CSU shares owned by institutions and large investors and us retail investors, therefore, won't move the needle? (Personally, I wish we would have received cash instead)

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi, Topicus.com shares are expected to start trading around Feb 1, 2021. We have a decent holding in CSU. If we wish to increase our commitment to this group, where do you expect higher growth prospects - Constellation Software or Topicus.com ? I had read somewhere that as time passes by, CSU will behave more like a matured company (An exceptional one, though), looking for more ways to unlock shareholder value. Thanks

Q: I apologize for bringing up GUD, however there seem to be quite a few people waiting to jump on this stock. (I just did)
I have noticed as the price erodes there is a buyback, insider purchase or indication of possibly something coming up; creating a small flurry of buying until it deteriorates again.
This stock has been kept in the BE because of the co. strategy/positioning, cash position and track record of the CEO.
The CEO has stated you invest in GUD for your grandchildren -so the focus is on the business and not headlines or announcements.
It seems to me the insider/corporate buying is a signal to be patient - that they aren't asleep but are investing their own money and retained earnings back into GUD because it makes good business sense.
I can't imagine propping up the price for any other reason(please confirm).
Thank you
