Q: I held atd.b (Couche-Tard)since 2009 with significant gain but it is still within 5% of my portfolio as I have not added to it. I had a discussion with a Montreal Portfolio Manager about Couche-Tard today at a meeting. He told me 3 out of the 4 founders at Couche-Tard have or retiring from the company. While these folks have retired they have not sold their own shares yet. This mutual fund PM have existed their position in their fund and moved on to a similar U.S. company. Should I take some profit by reducing my position or exit my position? The security is held in my RRSP.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I have been following CCL.B for a few months with the thought of purchasing a small position. Research shows it to be a good company but it has had a recent sell-off. Could you please give some insight regarding the recent sell-off and whether you think this is a good time to purchase for a 2 to 3 year hold.
Thanks.

Q: Greetings Team 5i,
With it looking like an increase in interest rates coming soon, and understanding that insurance companies appreciate higher interest rates, I would like to add to my holdings in that sector. I realize you like Sun Life SLF and I'm thinking of taking a position but I'm also interested in Fairfax Financial FFH. I would appreciate your opinion of FFH and the wisdom of taking a position in it at this time.
As always, thanks for your guidance.

Q: Hi Team,
I own about a half position in Carfinco and I am wondering if I should sell it on the news today or wait for the deal to run its course? There is talk that a special dividend is priced into the stock at its price this AM. of about $2.80. Any information about how these sort of situations typically play out would be appreciated.
Thanks, John

Q: I sold POT yesterday, made a decent profit and of course rec'd the dividends. I am wondering if I should deploy the capital to something you could suggest that has the safety with growth or should I wait until you offer your investment service. Do you expect that to be this month or a later time frame? Thanks again.

Q: Hello 5i team,
How do you explain the steady drop in share value despite a good quarterly report and a good order backlog that would suggest a good next quarter?
Greetings,
