Q: I bought all 3 of these banks a couple of years ago: Royal Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia and TD. At that time all 3 of purchase prices were much lower than today's stock prices. I would like to add to my holdings of each. Would you wait until the prices come down a little, or is it more probable at this point that prices will continue to go up? Thank you.

Q: It seems all the Canadian banks are doing well - huge profits, reversing loan-losses, cash piles and talk of boosting dividends.
Is a lot of this profit due to the increasing real-estate mortgages being issued that have an implicit government backstop? I view this as a form of moral hazard - the banks know the government has their back so continue to lend despite worsening lending metrics like income to home price etc.
Do you see any risk from all the non-house owners in the country putting pressure on the government to reign in bank profits, as it seems only the 'rich' home owners are benefitting? Or would the banks themselves curtail lending as home prices continue to appreciate?
I know that the Canadian residential real estate market if a primary driver of our economic gains nowadays but at some point, the policital winds may shift.
What signals related to Canadian housing would you look for to make you want to reduce your exposure to Canadian banks?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I'm trying to decide between Go Easy (GSY) and ECN Capital, both of which have been on terrific runs. How do you view their current valuations, their prospects for further growth and risks involved with each and how will rising interest rates affect their businesses? Finally, which would prefer currently if you had to make a choice?
Thanks for your great service.
Bob

Q: If I were to buy a stock today for income and growth , would it be Fiera ?…( NO ! ).
The Schmo of the 5i Income Fund @ 26% down, and stuck in a sideways purgatory. I realize it pays 8% , but we bought high ( you usually warn us against high dividends ) . Are we just parking money here, or do you think we should take a loss and move on ? Thanks .
