Image source: Getty Images Shares in Google’s parent company Alphabet (NSADAQ:GOOG) trade at a (forward) price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 17. Based on the last five years, that’s unusually low. The business is growing well and stock looks like a no-brainer. But I do have a brain, so I’ve been trying to use it to figure out why the market isn’t more positive on the stock. Antitrust  The biggest and most obvious reason is probably antitrust. Alphabet’s been found guilty of maintaining an illegal monopoly and the question is what happens next?

April’s massive bond selloff didn’t stop Canadians from buying Treasuries, but it weighed heavily on the value of their holdings.
