Q: 5iteam: Currently down about 9.5% . Would you consider GSY a decent replacement .If considering I do not currently need the better dividend and .it is looking like a tax loss would help this year , do you feel GSY at today 's price would give me more upside potential or would you suggest a better name to add to portfolio rather than add to GSY to lower my book value?Tks Larry

Q: This company has been moving up lately due to the shift to value. I hold an overweight position in several accounts and after several years of flat to negative price momentum i am considering selling my positions as its earnings are very lumpy and has not proven to be the best investment. Would you sell now or wait for the momentum to hopefully take the stock higher?

Q: Hi,
I'm currently holding all of these at a loss, mostly in RSP's - so the loss, if taken, won't be helpful tax wise. I'm aware you are still recommending GSY, but assume that is because at this point it is a reasonably buy. It has been a particular disappointment for me, as I purchased near the recent highs, so I wonder if the remaining capital I have might be better in the energy sector, as I do hold other financials. SNAP and SBUX are looking a bit more like they will take a very long time to show positive momentum - would you agree? Or do you feel it is worth holding onto all of these? I don't need the cash, I'm just wondering if it would be more prudent to stop the day by day reduction in principal, in particular when there are options such as ENB that pay a sizeable dividend in a more positive sector.
Many thanks for your thoughts, as they are always appreciated.

Q: Two related questions. I purchased SLF several months ago as a hedge against inflation. Since then, the stock has done nothing but decline and I am now down 12%. Please explain why it is performing so poorly now and provide thoughts on how it could potentially be impacted by a recession. Still with finance, would GSY (despite its smaller size) have generally the same economic drivers as the Big Five banks? Thank you.

Q: I am looking closely at purchasing this stock. I usually buy my allocated amount ( 2.5 % ) in one lump sum but think your suggestion of partial purchases makes sense in this volatile and generally declining market. Should I wait until their annual meeting of May 12 as there could be some surprises or a pessimistic view from management ? Thanks Derek

Q: What is your opinion of the Canadian banks at this time . I currently own XEB in the open, RRIF and TFSA- approximately 20% of my entire holdings.
I'm considering buying one the banks in my open account for income and average growth, but not sure which one. I would appreciate your recommendation.
thanks
