Q: I believe shares of BNRE are still exchangeable into shares of BN after their re-org, I know you are positive on the prospects of BN.
BNRE is starting as a smaller player in their industry but looks to aggressively grow.
By buying BNRE , at minimum , would you not get the same potential returns as BN but have potential for higher upside if their insurance business grow successfully.

Thank you

Q: What is your opinion on the insurance providers currently and future outlook? I had owned MFC a couple of years ago for a number of years where the money was essentially dead money the entire time. I was lucky enough to get out with a small profit back then and now I am looking to re-enter this space.

In the past few years with the lower bond yields I think this played a huge part in the performance of these companies but now with the rapid rise in yields will these have a breakout going forward? Is SLF still your favorite? As always thanks, your opinion is always appreciated

Q: Dear Peter et al:

To my question on June 29th, you had suggested these three as your safe picks amongst US banks. (You also included C,BAC,WFC. But I have chosen to highlight the top three.

From tomorrow the earnings reports will start trickling in, starting with JPM.

Should one wait or start taking positions from today! Going forward, what is your prediction for these three banks?

Many thanks.
Mano.

Q: Can you provide any sort of update on this company. I understand that the strategic update in August could be interesting, however, what other catalysts could be on the horizon? How do you like the risk/reward scenario? Has there been insider buying? Would you take a starter position here?

Q: I know how positive you are on this stock, many guests on BNN and elsewhere also favour it, and I have done well on it (thanks to you). I also know a great company and a great share price can stay out of sync for awhile. Do you think the share price is languishing solely because of the Fed's legislative changes, and if so, how many "show me" good quarters is it likely to take to approach the old highs? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Hello 5i team,

Here is a recent answer you provided on BN: “Given its strong management team and fundamentals, we feel that BN is currently at an attractive level. It appears to have found some support around the low ~$40”. How do you explain that TD’s Webbroker shows a P/E Ratio of 79.1 for BN?

Q: I've been reading about the different banks and their 30 year mortgages. In terms of risk can one assume that BNS and NA have a safer approach to mortgage lending the other Canadian banks.
