Q: hello 5i:
could you please comment on PANW's latest earnings and outlook? As they beat expected earnings (I believe that's 4 quarters in a row), I would have thought the stock would bounce up, not the $30 haircut they've taken so far today. Your outlook for the future is appeciated.

Q: Good Morning: I notice that Laurentian bank is advertising a hi-yield saving acct. with a 3.3% rate. This seems unsustainable in the current environment. Their ad does not say anything about a limited term for this rate but does of course warn that rates can change without notice. Any comments?
