Q: I would be thankful for your comment on the long-term growth prospects of PAR Technology symbol PAR.us (on NYSE). It looks to be a possibly good candidate for takeover by a better capitalized strategic buyer in the same industry . At its present size PAR would have difficulty combating competitive forces. Is management under pressure from cash-burn (that you can tell) such that they might be pushed to look for a buyer ?

Q: I am considering the purchase of Milestone. It appears that its revenue and distributions are in $US. Could you advise if this complicates matters in terms of tax and what type of account (RRSP or taxable) would be preferred to hold the security? Would the discount brokerage convert the US distribution to CDN and would they usually charge a fee for this?

Thanks as always

Q: I am wondering what would be a normal p/e for Concordia? Also perhaps you can shed some light on the difference between cash flow and levered free cash flow.I understood the latter represented the cash left over after debt obligations have been paid. With their substantial debt I expected Concordia's levered cash low to be substantially less and yet Yahoo Finance shows cash flow per share of $4.10 and levered at $6.55.
As always your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Mike
