Q: This is a follow up to a recently answered a question about the p/e on CSU but pertains to other companies as well.

When calculating this valuation metric, is the share price in Canadian Dollars and the earnings in US dollars? Or is there an adjustment made to have the same currency in both numerator and denominator? If the currency is not adjusted then the p/e would be artificially inflated by 30% or so.

Q: Hi team,

This question is probably going to highlight my ignorance in this area only, but I am going to ask it any: Would it make sense for CSU to take over DSG in a mega deal? Would there be any synergies from a friendly acquisition? If yes, why CSU is not interested in DSG? or similar large Canadian software companies?
I have both and not sure if there are any advantages in keeping both.
Your feedback and insight is much appreciated.

Q: You recently answered another question in the following words.
you may be best served by a well-diversified conservative (or even balanced) portfolio. For your equity component (what ever allocation you decide) stay focused on large-cap dividend payers and weight defensive sectors generously.

If I want to stay with Canadian stocks only, please name your top 10 stocks that would fit this bill.

Thanks.

Q: Hi
I have a 7% position in CSU. Given its size now and past run up, would you suggest switching to smaller cap companies like Open Text or Kinaxis or continue to hang on?
I feel like there would be more growth opportunity in these two smaller companies.
Or would you have any other suggestions other than these three in the same space.
Thanks
Jeff
