Q: I am considering investing in Alimentation Couche Tard and, as always, would appreciate your input.

Motley Fool Canada highly esteems Couche Tard, their thesis being that the convenience store space is highly fragmented and that Couche Tard, as the biggest player and with skilled management, can capitalise on this situation. They seem to think that the stock price will dramaticaly increase in ten years or so, because of this. Would you see this as a reasonable thesis?

I noticed in your responses that at first you seemed a little concerned about the recent drop in price because of the miss because of lower gasoline prices. But, if i am not mistaken, you later on seem to think that this is not a big problem and will be rectified. Is that a reasonable description of your views?

thanks very much and as always, we appreciate your great service

Q: I was listening to someone talking about the dire propane situation going forward in the U.S.
I didn't really get much of the picture, I tuned in precisely because I hold Superior Propane and wondered if I should look into the issue, but better still ask your opinion of that statement. Is there a reason for concern? Thank you.

Q: Pho just news released ~40 minutes before closing that they have reached a settlement for their patent litigation. The news looks very positive to me on a number of fronts (closure, both a 50% reduction in royalty rate and duration, and no more litigation expenses). Do you agree? What do you think of this settlement? Did the market simply not have time to digest the news before close?
Thanks

Q: I hold Cineplex in my balanced portfolio. And I also have an income portfolio. With your news of Cineplex coming out of the 5iR Balanced Portfolio, I'm wonder if you would consider it as an inclusion in an Income Portfolio if the income portfolio was to be expanded by a few more positions, knowing your preference is for 20, or whether it would just be added to a list of entities for consideration for an income portfolio......Thanks....Tom

Q: Hi,
I'm 60 years old and have $135,000 cash in my in my RRSP brokerage account that I would like to put to work. I have a defined benefit pension plan, however, I plan on drawing down on this money in approximately 5 years. Would you suggest I mirror your balanced or income portfolio? Or go with a diversified ETF portfolio? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
