Q: I have been watching the following three L-Brands, Ross Stores, Nike for about a year now,and I can not decide which one to invest in. Therefore, I would like any help you can give me to decide which is the one going forward.
I have been reading many more articles recently regarding the macro trend toward organic and non anti-biotic raised food. Major food chains such as A&W (thanks very much for the investing idea!) and now McDonalds (large restaurant chain in the world) offering meals with non anti-biotically raised animals.
Can you please provide your perspective on this as well as the best way for an individual investor to participate in this macro trend. Please provide best equity or other opportunities in this space either in Canada or in US.
Thanks as always for the independent perspective you provide!
Q: Hi Peter

many thanks.
