For the next time I forget, there is no price too low for value stocks and no price too high for growth stocks.
The fact is the @bankofcanada has officially entered the random forecasting game. Now predicting that energy (the sole inflation) issue will turn negative next year while everything else will surge & pull inflation above 3%
Do with that information what you wish.
For inflation to be 3% with oil and gasoline running at -20%, you'd need the rest of the basket at +4%... Which barely happened when everyone thought everything was out of control following stimmies & broken supply chains.
This is quite the take given the market was literally signalling "Don't do it"
Then the BoC came out and said "We want to do it"
Then the market still had trouble believing they would become of how stupid it was...
Bank of Canada raises the policy rate by 25 basis points to 2½%
Markets Lead. Central Banks Follow.
After 36 years studying financial markets, one lesson stands out:
Bond markets anticipate policy turning points before central banks act.
Study history. Follow the bond market, not just the Bank of Canada.
When you build models on "history" (human nature never really changes) then the foresight into the future becomes easier.

Forecasting 3.1% inflation in 2027 is certainly an opinion... It's basically saying "we think that everything that isn't happening will start happening" ... Which is possible but note sure when they entered the random prediction game.
BANK OF CANADA RAISES GROWTH AND INFLATION FORECASTS
The Bank of Canada raised its 2026 GDP growth forecast to 1.0% from 0.7%, while lifting its 2027 projection to 2.0% from 1.8%.
Inflation forecasts increased more sharply, reaching 2.9% for 2026 and 3.1% for 2027, up from 2.5% and 2.0%, respectively.
The bank also expects Brent crude to average around $100 per barrel in Q4, before gradually declining toward $75 by the end of 2028.
If you assume stable credit to Q2 2026
Slight quarterly deceleration from 7.8% to 7% this year and 6% onwards in Q2-4 with 1% growth in Q1s & linear LaaS growth based on H2 guide... Propel could be at C$2 in quarterly earnings by Q4 2028.
Excluding the credit issues in 2025, those assumptions aren't wild... And there should be room for significant upside in LaaS in back end... But I don't know how long QuidMarket can grow fast enough to pull the whole number up.
Anyway, we'll see what happens.
I think if they give a framework for serious capital returns next Q, the stock would break higher... If it's a very good Framework, the stock could go to +$30
There's a chance that by Q4 Propel would be ~8x trailing earnings with +35% revenue growth and line of sight to relevant operating leverage.
Not that such things matter.
... People with a brain have understood this for a while...
The Canadian output gap suggests the Bank of Canada should cut rates! 😳

Can't understand why some people are shocked that the real estate guy wants to pump real estate...

Crazy how the best companies in the world are cannibalizing themselves to overpay for overpriced commodities inside overpriced boxes.
Eventually everyone will understand that the BoC is a cult of stupidity.
Let me get this straight:
The market is pricing in +80% chance Canada is going to raise rates this week?
The same 🇨🇦 Canada that:
- Lost nearly 70,000 jobs last month
- Has inflation below 2%
- Recent GDP puts us at 1.7%
- Has a housing market on its knees
- Is in a trade war with its biggest trading partner
Make it make sense.
