September 10, 2025 Invest at All-Time High - How Valuation Can Tell You What to Buy
When a great company trades at an all-time high and a P/E north of 30, are you overpaying—or just paying for quality?

Mike and Vero show how to use the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio without a crystal ball. Discover why a stock's own 5- to 10-year averages matter more than cross-sector comparisons, how to identify "priced-for-perfection" setups, and why low P/E Ratios can be value traps.

Case studies: Visa (V), Costco (COST), Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), National Bank (NA.TO)—plus what to do when prices skyrocket, how to think about all-time highs, and tweaks if you're near or in retirement.
