Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We do not have any consumer staples in our portfolio and are looking to add one. We like Alimentation Couche Tard [ATD.B], Empire Company [EMP.A], Metro inc. [MRU], and Loblaw [ L].
We were wondering if Empire would be significantly affected by the loss of supplying Target stores.
thanks as usual.

Q: I'm not certain if this would be of use to Robert regarding setting up his contest: I'm sure everyone is familiar with Investopedia's Market Simulator -- where you can enter a fictional portfolio to track your market acumen.

There is a section where you can customize your own portfolio game -- which essentially can be just a portfolio tracker if you want it to be -- without having to play any "games". I wonder if this would not be enough to track his contest performance? Just a thought. It's a great site, and it's free.
