Q: Hi, since the time insiders sold their shares at $44.65, few months ago, stock has n't recovered and continues to drift lower, trading at $40 level now, down from the high of $47 touched earlier during the year. Recent quarter was also good and company raised the dividend, but it did n't help the share price. We bought at $44 after secondary was announced, with the objectives of decent income and some growth. Do you see any catalyst to the shares in near term and is it worth to continue to own ? Thanks

Q: Dear 5i,

I am finally re-balancing some of my portfolio by selling some of my Canadian bank stocks (where I was seriously over weighed). The cash will be reinvested to fill 3 Canadian industry holes I need to fill. From most to least deficits are Consumer Defensive, Consumer Cyclical, and Basic Materials. The only stock I currently own that matches any of those 3 categories is AW.UN. Could you please suggest some quality Canadian stocks to buy to fill each of those 3 holes ? I am a 53 year old conservative investor trying to balance dividend and some growth for long term in stocks that have the brightest futures. I really appreciate your wisdom.

Q: I have held both of these stocks for over 5 years. A&W has done well , but not Boston Pizza, I'm about 15% down of the purchase price of BPF. Do enjoy the high dividend of BPF. Both are held in a RRSP account. They are 2.25% and 1.40% of the portfolio. Trying to decide if I should sell Boston Pizza and add to A&W. or move to another stock for growth. I like to buy and hold. Any thoughts would be helpful

Q: All things being equal, would you consider purchasing AW.UN shares below the secondary offering price an attractive proposition?

What metrics would you use to value AW.UN's share price (and would you mind posting those valuations).

Lastly, the institutions that are facilitating this secondary offering, will they be selling these AW.UN shares to their clients?

Thanks again.

John

Q: Hi Peter & 5i:
Would you be able to explain what the secondary bought deal offering means when the announcement says:
"The Fund will not receive any proceeds from the Offering. Food Services will distribute the net proceeds of the Offering to its long standing shareholders."
Food Services are selling their shares and then going to issue a "special one-time distribution" from the proceeds?
Thanks so much.
