Q: I'm considering buying a 5% share in CC & would appreciate your input on the company. I'm concerned about the debt which was quite high last year.The debt is $2.6B with a net leveraged ratio of 1.8 times on a trailing 12 months basis. Is this coming down or increasing?
The businesses, all three, seem to be doing quite well.Do you agree?Will there be further share repurchases or is it finished.What is the EPS & the free cash flow based on the US tax reform? Is it a buy or should I pass on it?

Q: Hi,
After the recent correction, US banks recovered (JPM, GS, C, BAC) but other finance sector stocks did not (AMP, MFC, AIG). Will future interest rate hikes will not benefit annuity business? At this pull back could AMP:N a good buy if I have some funds in RRSP to invest this year? I do hold TD:T and USB:N and MFC:T.
Thanks

Q: Hey 5i Team,
I know you don't focus on the US but I wondered if you had any insight into the complicated "buyout" Albertsons is trying to do. I own a full stock position and wondered if you would just wait it out till sales goes thru or hold long term. Just seems especially complicated being that Albertsons is private and trying to go public thru buying rite aid.
Thanks
