Q: Please comment on Enbridge's recent asset sale. I am thinking about adding them to my portfolio and think that this can be a strong outperformer once the market starts to have a little more buy-in again. I am looking at both ENB and CGX and want to add one for a combination of both growth and income. I just feel both have been beaten down so much and are presenting great value right now. Would you prefer one of the other? Or do you think they are going to be in the dog house for a while longer? Thanks.

Q: As many of your customers, we hold a goodly amount of covalon...my question is regarding stops after a large gain such as we have seen in COV...are there any rules that Peter would have used when he was running a fund that would put some light on this subject as 5i investors have had many of such run ups and have profited greatly from your vast experience and this would add to that experience...thanks for a great service...Eugene

Q: I have a thesis for SHOP and wondering if I am way off base. It is currently 5% of my portfolio. SHOP just grew revenues 68% but had a “slow down” in number of merchants added. Could part of the explaination be that SHOP is now aquiring clients with bigger and potentially more mainstream business. LCBO and marijuana comes to mind. Also revenues are growing from long term clients and despite analysts questioning the competitive advantage I do believe they have one. My wife has been a client of SHOP since near their beginning. She continues to pay more each month but says she would never change as they keep adding things that improve her sales and any change would be too time and labor intensive.
I am considering recommending that my daughter start a position in SHOP even at these levels. Or alternatively if I am way off base maybe it is time to trim our position. Thanks for your incredible service.

Q: Whenever analysts talk about PBH (premium brands) or CSU (constellation) they inevitably talk about them being over-valued and due to fall or tread water for a while. You've allowed both to rise to about the 6.5% level in the portfolio (as per the last record on your site) without trimming. Does that mean you disagree with the analysts, or simply don't care about a short term fallback of 10%-20% since you are confident they will eventually regain that and move past it?
