Q: re: DDD & DASTY ... and digital printing industry (DPI) in general

Morning 5i Team

I think we can all agree the DPI in general has a bright future in our everyday life. Let's face it. One day instead of plugging in a tape to watch a movie, you will have a box that allows you to record and download movies or shows anytime you want then watch them days later.

Soon, when you need a small tool you can simply go to your digital printer and make it in the kitchen.

But as always with new technology, while in it's infancy no one knows which company will be a player and which company will no longer exist when the technology becomes affordable and really starts to take off.

I read an article yesterday regarding the education system planning on using digital printing in the classroom... an ideal application. Did you see anything on this information and if so, do you feel it may be a catalyst to start us towards DP's becoming become part of our everyday life?

And which of the aforementioned stocks do you think have the best chance too take advantage? Is there another company we should be aware of that could be a serious player?

Plus any other thoughts you may have regarding the future of the DPI. Someone is going to make allot of money. Any chance it could be us?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Considering selling my holdings of Alaris Royalty (AD)to fund purchase of Onex (OCX). Considerations: AD - smaller, quasi private equity company with good dividend and capital gain consideration vs. OCX - larger cap, established, pure private equity play with small dividend. On a go forward basis , which would you choose as long-term hold?
Thank-you.

Q: I have a small position in constellation software. What would you think of acquiring some more rights and invest in the debentures by borrowing against the home line of credit? Maybe even convert it to a mortgage amount at a lower floating rate?
The interest rate on the borrowing is a floating rate as is with the debenture and the premium offered with the rate reset would more than justify the risk?
