Q: this covalon thing is a bit distressing all because of a tweet by this freeland character who seems completely out of her element whether its nafta or anything else.the conservatives are looking better everyday but that is not the point.
the point is the saudis have said they will not do any new business with canada and seem to emphasize that existing contracts stand as is.so why the massive sell off in covalon, is it just retail investors panicking— probably mostly 5i members and just after you had it as a top pick on bnn.
the stock market can be a crazy place where a tweet can cause such a sell off in a stock. please comment.dave

Q: Should I add to MG on the sell off?
Is there another in your BE portfolio you think is a better opportunity right now instead?
I am well diversified with your BE stocks, although probably don’t need to add any financials at this point.
Thx
John

Q: Hi,
Thanks for the past tips to get into Savaria, I’m up 70% on it right now. They seem to have a hard time breaking through $17. Do they have anything solid in the works that you think will push it higher with support or do you think the best part of this ride is over? I haven’t held it long and don’t need the cash for anything, but would like to see continued solid returns. I know the returns here aren’t typical, but do you see somewhere else to better send the money or is it a hold for a while still?

Thanks

Q: My understanding is that this company generates its revenue from the sale of fuel, beverages, pass by restaurants, car washes, ... leading to a diversified source of revenue. It is also my belief that most of these sales are generated when people stop to get gaz. While filling up their tank they get a car wash, they buy an ice cream... As a long term investor, I really question the viability of their future. I think that in 5 years, there will be more cars on the road; however, I also believe that hybrids/electrical vehicles will start to steal some of their market share. A loss of one customer not buying fuel (I feel) has rippling effects. That customer may not stop to eat at their restaurant, may not stop to buy an ice cream... impacting their entire revenue stream. In 10 (15) years, I think the problem will multiply, eventually questioning their entire business model.

This past quarter was great as recent acquisitions demonstrated benefits, such as savings due to synergies but the pain has yet to start. In contrast to competitive forces trying to push them out, they are about to experience an industry shift, which may slowly make them somewhat irrelevant.

Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.
