Q: Hi team, given today's news on Alimenation Couche Tard and price jump, is it still a buy for long term growth, or would PBH or DOL be good alternatives
Thanks. Sam

Q: Hi guys,

I read an article on Stella Jones from a couple of years ago where the CEO said that eventually the Company would move up its payout ratio after its exhausted its acquisition/growth phase and it envisions itself similar to a utility in the future with slow growth, but a high payout ratio and yield. Do you think the same can be said for ATD.B eventually. Do you think they will raise their payout ratio to more than 50% when growth slows and transform themselves into a utility like stock?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I would appreciate your suggestions in what to do with this stock. Are my options selling or acquiring Loblaw stock or is acquiring Loblaw stock an option? If I sell I will have a nice capital gain which I will have to declare as I hold it in a non registered account. If I were to acquire Loblaw stock and then sell Loblaw in a few months does a capital gain apply? Thank You.

Q: This is just my opinion, but I think that Avigilon is another example of a case where Quality of management i.e, CEO attitude is the number 1 factor in their situation. I recall watching interviews on BNN where comments were made about how agressive the CEO was and I believe there was, at one time at least, a higher than average turnover in the C-suite and R&D department due to the CEO. I try to emulate the growth portfolio but I could never bring myself to buy AVO because of the impression I had of the management.
