Q: Hi there, can you tell me exactly how much of a discount George Weston is trading at relative to market and book value? I'm interested to know your thoughts on whether the discount can be broken down into any distinct components, and what the prospects are for future break up of the company so that investors can hold the investments in Loblaws, Choice REIT, etc. directly. Thank you.

Q: Hi team. I have ZWU as my main utilities holding @ 11% and I also have positions in BCE and ENB on their own. ZWU has both BCE and ENB in their top 10 holdings. In your opinion am I participating in "di-worsification" by holding BCE and ENB outside of ZWU. Would you sell both BCE and ENB and fold the funds back into ZWU? I'm ok letting ZWU go to +/- 15% of my portfolio. Appreciate your thoughts. Bill.

Q: Regarding position sizes of individual stocks, I have a PRIF, RRSP, TFSA and a cash account where I use borrowed $ from HLOC. In the cash account I have HDIV, ZWU, and CLS for some better growth hopefully. The distributions cover the interest expense monthly, I enjoy the tax advantage of interest expense and have done well over the years making some capitol gains, this account is about 18% of my entire portfolio. My question is regarding individual stock position size in the other accounts, seems to me I should not include the cash account holdings, curious to 5i thoughts?

Q: You recently said that trimming the weeds in a portfolio is something to believe in. Is SYZ a weed? I have held this stock for more than ten years and 5i's coverage of it was one of the reasons for my original subscription. I like the unique sector SYZ operates in and its growth potential, but I am losing patience and wondering if it is time to move on. If I sold SYZ I would add to my other Canadian software holdings, namely OTEX, ENGH, TCS and AIF, but I hesitate because SYZ provides diversification and may yet turn around. As always, I welcome your insight.
