Q: It would appear circumstance for the Canadian Banks looks good for their share prices to rise. If their price increases are not due to speculations or a bubble forming but strong fundamentals, could I get your opinion of how the Canadian banks may deal with their rising share prices? Would they just let them rise until circumstances change, or would they consider splitting shares?

Q: USIO, at first glance, is one among many payment processing firms. Is it worth a long-term hold position? My portfolio is currently low in tech stock for valuation reasons.

Q: Looking to buy one or both of these companies in light of recent weakness, this would either be for a taxable account or an RRSP (have some room in both for a new position). Would you hold off for now? Which would you buy first and what would you consider an attractive price? Thank you.

Q: Good morning 5i,
I need some fixed income. And I am paralyzed by the low rates I see. when I think of fixed income i tend to think of security and not growth. I know there are a number of people who put all kinds of things in fixed income, from high risk bonds to preferred shares. Where would 5i fall on this question? I was wondering what you thought a suitable fixed income component might look like for a retired person? as you can see by the symbol I added in the title, I am thinking short term bonds. But, i am open to suggestion. Could you suggest some bond etf's for the US and for Canada that would be appropriate for our current situation?
thanks

Q: Hello Peter,

If one wants to own just one North American stock in the digital payment space, which one would you recommend? And if two, which would be the other one? Would there be enough differentiation or a low correlation to justify having two stocks in a portfolio?
In a similar vein, could you give me your recommendations (excluding GSY) in the lending/credit space?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Fire sale - V - 13 month low; MA just as bad; along with the rest of these. Do you think the people selling them have knowledge that we do not have and that is why they are selling these stocks. What is your take on what is happening? Thanks

Q: What are you hearing, if anything, about other discounters dropping commission now that National Bank is offering zero commission trades?

I'd hate to go thru the hassle of transferring my account then have my existing broker change. Right now I'm with BMO and Questrade.
