Q: Is the financial sector good value at these levels ?
I'm a little concerned investing new money in the banks as rising prices have brought valuations to pre-pandemic levels. Insurance companies not yet there, may be the better value.
Thank-you.

Q: Hello,
I am currently holding capital one at $86 per share and enjoying the recent surge as of late. That said, I am thinking about selling the position, keeping the principal, and using the proceeds to buy March 19 puts at $100 for downside protection in case of a market pullback.
What do you think about this strategy? Thanks in advance,

Q: Only two holdings in my parents portfolio that both include a significant portion of bonds. Concerned if interest rates rise more than expected in a short period and bond prices decline. Wondering about putting a hedge in place , would a financial services etf accomplish this? Better ideas or thoughts on the bond portions of the holdings I referenced?
Q: In a report dated 4 Jan , RBC Capital says “… Element Fleet is our best idea, and we believe it should be a core holding in any portfolio, as we think the stock offers a blend of growth, defensive attributes and multiple potential positive catalysts.”
I just don't see it and feel I must be missing a LOT. I find EFN just OK. I don’t follow Canadian markets much so checked other reports, and skimmed several analyses. Almost all other analysts seem to be lukewarm on EFN. RBC includes well qualified, experienced, and generally trustworthy fellows.
Please comment on EFN with a focus on future growth. Is its business model robust enough to beat competition?

Q: I'm aware of your opinion ("agnostic") on Power Corp. Over the last 5 years POW has raised the dividend at a CAGR of 11-12%. Assuming the dividend continues to rise AND assuming no significant increase in fixed income rates for a few years, would not POW stock price rise similarly as investors look to safe, stable equities for income? Result could be combination of rising income and appreciating stock value.

Q: Despite central banks committing to not raising short term rates in the near term, 10 year yields have gone up a fair amount lately. Is it true that with the 10 year yield rising on its own, commercial banks will begin to raise their mortgage and other lending rates? And if so, why? Thanks.
