Reticence in owning today is the expensive valuation, of about 20x forward earnings. Profitability is still elusive. Concern about liberal use of executive stock options, which amounts to about 10% of revenue. Great company, not a great stock. He prefers Open Text.

Prefers this to Shopify. Less demanding multiple at 14-15x. Doesn't have the 30-40% gut-wrenching pullbacks, and sometimes boring is beautiful.

MFC vs. SLF When he values lifecos, it's on price to book, dividend yield, or price to earnings, rather than price to cash flows. Sun Life trades at a premium. His preferred lifeco is Manulife, because of a discounted valuation plus a better business overall because of its Asian business. Wealth management is also better, and getting a handle on legacy businesses.

IPL vs ENB If he was just interested in income, he'd pick IPL. But he's interested in total return, so he owns Enbridge. Both good companies, but concern with IPL was no capital appreciation. Enbridge has continued to grow dividend at 10%. IPL has a huge capital project on the go, which diverts cash from dividend increases and share buybacks. Enbridge getting Line 3 replacement in place would derisk the story. The dividend would then creep down to 5%, which implies a stock price north of $60.
