Q: General comment on ACQ.With all due respect to your positive opinion,I have 3 issues.Recently,it did a equity financing of 2.565m shares @ $78.,but its owner,CAG sold 2.5985m shs @ $78.If CAG did NOT sell,it may not have to do the financing.Why did CAG sell,even though it still owns 9.6% after sale.2)Reportedly,auto sales is @ a record level with easy & cheap financing.A source pointed out this could be a "auto bubble" similiar to "sub prime"3)What will be the effect once interest rate starts to climmb?Yellen indicated that bank rate will not increase until mid 2015,but many analysts are predicting US 10yr bond rate could increase fr current 2.55% to 3%-3.5% by year end.Thanks

Q: ACQ
ACQ seem to be getting very expensive, though the recent inroads into Quebec and franchise with BMW and Mini are very promising. The purchase of Hyatt in Alberta is also good. They are included into TSX composite too.
Do you think they need to raise equity to fund the continuous acquisitions?
Do you think the acticle in http://seekingalpha.com/article/2267263-autocanada-an-easy-short has merits or just too worry about nothing?
