Q: I'm wondering about Dollarama compared to the US dollar stores. DOL is near a 52 week high and DLTR and DG are near 52 week lows. What difference(s) between this companies makes their recent performance so different? Do you think Dollarama going to follow the US companies performance in the near future?

Q: I've enjoyed a little pop in the last month or two on a few coal stocks (ceix, amr). Do you think the demand for steel (arising from Biden's USA infrastructure builds) will continue to create demand for steel. I note that when you've been asked about Ceix in the past, you've pointed to coal being in secular decline, presumably referring to the heating-use application of coal. What do you think about the thesis that coal will enjoy a boom due to the anticipated demand for steel arising from the upcoming massive USA infrastructure projects? One must also assume that Ukraine will need some steel build out when the war ends.

I am trying decide whether to take profits or whether to let it roll.


Thank you,

Jason

Q: I realize DG has had a few underperforming quarters. I recognize the competitive landscape in the U.S. I have some questions on DG as an investment going forward.

- Is CAPEX the main reason for recent quarterly disappointments?

- Is debt manageable, and can they now improve their free cashflow going forward?

- Is there still growth available to them relative to the last couple of decades?

- Would you invest in this company today?

Q: What is your current view of FIVE? I am thinking of initiating a new position. Can you comment on some of its various characteristics.?

A large number of analysts view it favourably with a significant higher target price but...

- some of its financial matrices seem worrisome, a P/E of 33 and a P/B over 6;
- its chart seems to show bad momentum, with a new low for this calendar year;
- some of their competitors have also fared poorly, so is it a bad space?

Would it be better to wait to get into this stock? Many thanks
