IFC Is this company going to struggle or prosper for the next couple of years? If there are competitors that you think will do better could you please advise.
Q: My broker has suggested I look into National Banks auto callable note securities (mature monitered Barrier) linked to the Solactive Canada Bank 40 AR index. Issuance date is Monday January 13. Its a 5 year note callable semi annually. Returns seem to be very good. I have absolutely no experience with callable notes and would like your opinion on this note. I am told that if the shares of banks go up in the next 5 years it is a good investment.
Q: Happy New Year to 5i.
I have some cash available in my unregistered CDN account and looking to put it to work. Unfortunately, last years workers were lazy and negatively productive and still on the payroll. I wish I could lay them all off. Hoping for better in 2023.
I know you don't like to give personal advice but can you please recommend a hard worker that has the highest probability (in your opinion) of the paying me back in 2023?

Q: While normally one of my favourite choices on a "buy it and forget it" basis, TRI seems extremely highly valued at this point. Would I be better off at this point exchanging my 7% holding of TRI for a combination of BNS, SLF, and T?
Q: I assume the dividend for both will be paid in USD. Can you confirm? If so, I will transfer the shares to my UD non registered to avoid conversion costs :) Thanks and Happy New Year!
