Q: In January, you compared FFH to BN/BAM, saying, "If rates fall it may be able to make more deals, AND, its assets owned already may increase in value further." Do you still hold to this glass-half-full outlook, or should we be concerned that the (dominant) insurance side of FFH's business will be penalized for a lowered outlook?

Q: Portfolio Analytics has suggested I reduce of my exposure in the Financial Services sector. My holdings consist of ACGL and BN at a full position plus AD.UN, BNS, and TD at a 1/2 position each.

My thought is to reduce BN to a half postion and sell AD.UN (after the current uptrend). I would keep ACGL for its International exposure and diversification. The banks, I just consider a long term hold

Is a full position of ACGL too high?

Is there a suggested balance amongst the subsectors?

Any other comments would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Any news that would explain the volatility today? It seemed to hit an all-time high and dropped 6% afterwards.
