Q: I have half positions of these three stocks: QSR, PBH, & LNF. PBH is underwater. Are these good stocks to own long term? They haven't really done much in the last few years. Or on this pullback, make them full positions for their div and possible future growth? Do you have other favourites in Consumer stocks? YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

After A&W’s recent conversion into a Corporation do you feel they could be a candidate for a takeover? Is it possible that this conversion to a corporation, which would simplify the structure, was done make them more desirable to an acquiring company? Two obvious Canadian suitors may be QSR and Fairfax which owns many casual dining restaurants under its Recipe Unlimited division. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.

Q: The noted stocks are all very weak right now. I suppose on fears of recession and/or tariffs and/or specific company performance. Could you please rank these for potential to rebound in 2025? Any particularly attractive or unattractive right now to purchase with a brief rationale? Thanks!
