Q: There have been increasingly persistent reports of provisions for consumer loan default by the banking industry; PRL is in the business. I doubt PRL earnings for the quarter just past - statement due shortly – will be affected but it might affect their outlook for the coming quarter(s). I think GSY found a way to deal with the issue although it had a very significant run down in ‘21/’22 and wondered if it was related and what PRL had or could do to address the issue and what you could bring to the table on that score. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

Q: Constellation Software has impressively continued to climb to new 52 week highs. Topicus and Lumine have been pretty stagnant lately. Do you expect some share price action from Topicus and Lumine in the next 6 months?

Q: Hi, hold enough EIF that I want to divest and diversify. Looking for high growth over the next 4-5 years, but not as interested in dividends. I also hold a fair bit of CSU and gsy, so am thinking along those lines. What would be a good ranking for the following at today's prices (best to worst), and are there another couple additions you'd suggest? Big thanks!
DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: Hi Team,
I was looking at adding to either Bn, PRL , Eqb, or HPS.A. Or possibly a new purchase of Lulu for a recovery play here . Could you please rank these names in order which you would prefer to buy today for long term capital appreciation? If you feel there are better opportunities you prefer buying today ideas would be appreciated . Thanks

Q: I was doing a high level look at my portfolio in terms of recent vs 3, 5, and 10 yr CAGR and saw what I expected from stellar performers like CSU, TRI, WSP, IFC and DSG. What surprised me was seemingly declining longer term performance (ie pre-dating interest rate changes) from FTS, QSR, GIB.A, and EIF. The balance of the portfolio is holding it’s own or is cyclical or I can see a path to renewed growth/performance. Are the four named really lagging or am I looking at the wrong metrics? If you agree they might be considered to be faltering versus past performance can you suggest “growthier” replacements without going too far out the risk scale? Thank you.

Q: This sentence comes from an Goldman Sachs article. What are some examples of the “Utilities” companies referred to here? ….he sees more room for the AI theme to run and expects AI beneficiaries to broaden out beyond just Nvidia, and particularly to what looks set to be the next big winner: Utilities.
