Q: I have noticed that a number of the large banks have had a big rise recently. I am wondering about the reason for this. Specifically, is this a flight to safety going on in the background? Or is it the interest rate reduction or something else?
Thanks

Q: Are you comfortable buying PNG at current price? If not, what would be your target to buy? Looking to start a position.

There has been a couple questions lately regarding GSY and PRL. In one question, you answer PRL over GSY. And then the next day, you indicate GSY over PRL. Which do you consider a better buy for growth, and why? I think also you mentioned there was going to be a follow up report on PRL. Is that still the case?

Thanks!

Q: Is there any way to determine how "pure a play" L is as a consumer defensive vs MRU? What I am trying to get at is that there are a lot of consumer discretionary type items sold at Shoppers (probably the majority of the revenue?). Even Loblaw stores sell clothes. Metro seems to me more a defensive name in terms of groceries. Are there any publicly disclosed facts to prove or disprove this thesis? Thanks as always for your thoughts.

Q: In response to a request to rank 14 prescribed stocks, you ranked KSI at the top of the list just behind SHOP, and both KSI and VHi ahead of LMN. Knowing your positive view of LMN, I would appreciate your rationale for rating the two health services stocks so highly. Was it the 3-4 year timeframe?

Thank you,

Q: 1. Could you please provide the link to the blog you recently wrote about CSU.
2. Looking at historical data, CSU was trading at a lower P/E a few years back and more recently hit 120 - double the historical standard of a few years back (prior to 2021). In fact, back in late 2021 the P/E of CSU hit approximately 120, only to return to its historical standard (before starting this new leg up). Is it possible that the stock is resetting itself? A P/E of 120 is fairly high for most companies and it still trades in mid 80s even after this recent drop. Thoughts? Does CSU deserve a P/E of about 120? I am trying to decide if I should add to this stock OR wait a little longer. Thanks.
