Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello -
I'd like to buy ATD.B. It appears to be at a reasonable valuation relative to it's past if I'm interpreting my info from Morningstar correctly. I'm just wondering how much of this comes at the expense of their exposure to transportation fuel. I already own SU, TRP and ENB to know enough of how the association with "dirty" energy knocks down a stock's price.
I know that you like their management. Do you have concerns about ATD.B going forward with all the talk of EV's these days ?

Q: I need to raise some cash. Could you recommend which 6 of the above list you would sell first. Keeping in mind that I would be rebuying some of those as cash again becomes available.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: I hope I didn't misunderstand a recent response from your team on this ATD.B. Would you be saying that without an acquisition there is little growth for this stock? Assuming no acquisition taking place in the next couple of years, would you still invest in this company?

One other question. Do you see them dramatically increasing their dividend as the company matures in the future?

Thanks.

Q: SPB vs PKI. Several months back in the Q&As you were more positive on PKI than SPB. Is that still true or would you prefere ATD.B over both. I hold SPB and thinking about adding/switching SPB for PKI. How would you rank?

Q: By mistake , I bought CSU & ATD.B using money from my US investment account. Now the stocks are shown in my US investment account priced in US dollars. Would that have a tax implication on dividend credit or when I sell ? Thanks for your expert opinion.
