Q: I’m looking to diversify the financial part of my portfolio by adding a US insurance company. Can I get your thoughts on Progressive (seems to just go up & to the right) or other insurance stocks.
Thanks.

Q: I get confused when you rated slf over ifc for a 5 year hold, I agree it has a higher dividend, but you say slf will have better growth. Is not return on investment the growth that i should be measuring. ifc has blown slf out of the park in the last 10 years, not even close and they are still doing it right now.

Q: Too good to be true alert: Can HMAX consistently deliver a 13% return using call options? This is near triple the yield on some of the big six bank stocks. It's hard to believe that a 13% return can be consistently delivered. Doesn't seem real. What might the downside be to owning this vehicle? Thank you!

Q: Good evening, 5i team

I appreciate having your thoughts on keeping 2 out of these 5 for a pretty condensed portfolio. I sided with BNS & CM among the big 5. Thank you!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have owned this bank for several years and am aware of all their problems. I know they are in transition and restructuring. I realize they are at risk but am wondering if at this point it could be viewed as a possible contrarian play. It seems so cheap to what I paid in the past that I am thinking that maybe I have nothing to loose in buying more and at least recovering some of my money back. Of course that means that they will survive and not go bankrupt...even a take over might lift the value. Or do you think I am just in dream land? Thanks for your opinion as usual.

Q: "Thomson intends to return "at least $2 billion, which will be combined with a share consolidation or reverse stock split", to be funded by proceeds of the sale of LSEG shares later in 2023."

Do you have more information about this reverse stock split and how it might affect investors who currently hold the stock. Is it in an investors best interest to purchase more shares or wait to see what the actual transaction will be.

Thanks for your usual great service, Len
