Q: In the context of Return on Equity (ROE), what is the ideal ROE? I am asking because, when we examine company profiles, we can see significant differences in companies’ ROE. For example, here are the figures for: RY-CA 14%, DOL-CA 104%, and HD-US 405%. Why is there such a disparity? Thank you

Q: Hi Folks,
I currently hold HD in my non-registered account. I am thinking of switching to DOL for a little/lot more growth - they seem to be going in opposite direction. May I have your opinion?
Thanks

Q: Hi - I'm trying to get a sense as to how much these companies have the trade/tariff war issues priced in. I know it's a short term question here, but would you wait to buy these great companies given the economic uncertainty? My sense is purely anecdotal, but my gut tells me that people are pulling back on extra spending....so while COST and WMT benefit from people looking for low prices, they may also avoid the spending on extras. Thoughts? In other words, would you expect negative earnings revisions over next few months on these companies? Even if trade war averted (unlikely), they still may miss this quarter as people are already tightening their belts.
