(A Top Pick Oct 05/22, Down 3%)

Super-high quality. Sold on peak levels. His thinking was, "How much better can it get?" Monitoring closely, and he'd get back in at a lower level.

WEAK BUY
Intact Financial

There have been a lot of natural disasters this year, but IFC has still absorbed those, because they have strong capital and operating ratios. Still growth and trades at a high PE, though. How will self-driving cars impact insurance. That said, IFC has been a winner, a great growth stock.
