That’s why I’m considering buying both.

On Sunday, Vancouver’s Thomas Nobbs ran a speedy 2:08:35 to finish 17th at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. He was the top Canadian finisher and once again moved up the national all-time list to become the third-fastest marathoner, behind national record holder Cam Levins and marathon star Rory Linkletter, who made a surprise appearance. Ben Flanagan of Kitchener, Ont., was the next Canadian finisher, clocking 2:12:36 for 28th overall. The reigning national marathon champion opted not to defend his title at the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon on Oct. 18, instead choosing the faster course and coming away with a new personal best. In Dec. 2025, Thomas Fafard of Repentigny, Que., smashed the Quebec provincial marathon record in his debut at last year’s The Marathon Project in Arizona with a 2:10:29, but couldn’t set another PB on Sunday. He finished 38th overall, in 2:16:23.

The hardest part about investing conservatively is finding fundamentally solid stocks that feel safe — without feeling stuck. A stock can be stable but have very few growth prospects. Another could rally in the short term but cause stress when the market turns volatile. That’s why the better setup is somewhere in the middle.

This is becoming even more important after our strong market in 2026 because paying attention to quality often matters more than simply following momentum.
