Q: From Ryan's blog on Feb. 29 he suggested taking a full position in Canexus or a half position in CUS and half position in SPB. Would you still make this call given the share appreciation of both stocks since your blog. If yes, which would be the better buy. Would SPB a good buy on it's own as it has a nice dividend

Q: Hi 5i: I am down a little more than 20% in each of BOS, DRT, KXS and MAL. AS far as I can determine, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with these companies so I am planning to hang on. What would you advise? Are there any I should sell?

Q: Hi Peter and Team - I am thinking of taking a position in Kinaxis. However when I checked the Insider Trading using INK in my TD Waterhouse account it shows net selling of $40,640,658. This seems to be very high plus the Insider ownership seems to be quite low overall. Is this accurate and generally speaking how much can I rely on these insider reports from INK.
Also I understand that Kinaxis is involved in cloud based subscription software but I just couldn't understand much of the rest of the description in my TD Waterhouse site. Would you be able to summarize their business in terms that a relatively non-technical person can understand. Thanks.

Q: Could you please clarify the recent deal where Imperial Oil has sold its retail ESSO stations to various entitities, including PKI and ATD? In one news article, it seemed to suggest that PKI purchased all of the "On the Run" convenience stores and some of the gas stations. Howefer, in reply to a previous question, you stated that ATD had bought some of the gas stations but it would seem to me that they would want the convenience stores as well, so I am left wondering who purchased what.

Could also comment on how you see the acquistions affecting both ATB and PKI.

Thanks for the insight.

Paul F.
