Q: Thoughts on FSZ for income? The dividend looks fabulous but I know that people often say a high dividend is a red flag. How safe is this company? What are the risks?

Q: MS has been dropping the past few days, likely with the market in general and geopolitical reasons but perhaps also due to news that the SEC and DOJ are investigating the business on block trading. Given this disclosure, would you suggesting moving out of the position (even at this depressed price) into another such as JPM that does not have this similar SEC risk? Or, could this even be an opportunity to build on the MS position?

Q: Hi,
In Dec 2021, BMO announced to acquire Bank of West from BNP Paribas for US$16.3-bil. This is a big amount. Normally companies finance these kind of huge acquisition by issuing debt and equity. Whenever new equity is being issued, stock price of issuing company falls during that time. Do you think BMO will issue new equity? Is there any place where someone can get information these kind of news?
Thanks

Q: Hi. Can you confirm consensus EPS estimates for this weeks release is $2.62? If so, why would the analysts forecast an increase of 17% vs. Q4 last year when it is growing earning at 35%+ AND reported $2.70 in the prior quarter. Do they know something the rest of us don’t?

Thanks for your service
