Q: Wells Fargo has taken a big hit recently. Do you think it might be worth buying some shares in this bank? Is the dividend yield (currently at about 7.4%) sustainable?
I have held BNS for quite some time and am down about 20%. Just wondering if I should add to my position (about 1% of my portfolio) or sell. I am assuming that the high dividend will keep being paid (as most experts say Canadian banks don't cut dividends).

Q: Hi There,
my question is that for a small retail investor is it a prudent idea to invest in ZEB or a like ETF if someone is interested in banking industry exposure in Canada?
Also, is it a good time to take new exposure in ZEB

Q: I noted an earlier answer that preferred life companies over banks at the moment, for a new investment. I am currently overweight financials and dont want to leave the probable dividend stream. However, should I be thinking about divesting banks to a degree and buy life cos? If so, which banks to punt ( don't be shy, I have them all) and which life cos to buy? As always, appreciate your collective calm.

Q: Can I please have your thoughts and analysis of this company's recently announced earnings. Would you consider it a buy at this price. Thank You.
Q: Given the dividend cut today - does your view regarding the odds of cuts for Canadian Bank stocks as well as other blue chip Canadian dividend payers change. I realize that RDS is in a very tough industry right now but I would say the severity of the cut was pretty surprising and I wonder if there will be similar surprises in Canada for "undoubted" dividend payers in the past.
Q: What are thoughts on this company? It falls under industrials but is more about financial/tech so would a 1/3 allocation to each sector make sense?
Q: I have a 5.5% weighting in my portfolio. About 130% gain in a non-registered account. The economy is ground to a halt abruptly probably for quite a few months if not years. I wonder if it is a good time to trim down, bite the bullet and pay the capital gains tax at the high marginal tax rate and buy back to full position when it reaches the bottom? or grin and bear some near term volatility, stick with it for the long term as the economy will be back in a year or two?
Q: With the economic fallout coming of writedowns, defaults, market adjustments, would you say the life co's can be a safer bet here than banks?
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Can I have your thoughts on MSCI as a long term investment. The chart looks great. Any comments pro or con would be appreciated. Thanks
- Bank of Montreal Series 25 Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Class B Preferred Shares (BMO.PR.Q)
- Bank of Nova Scotia (The) Non-cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares Series 30 (BNS.PR.Y)
Q: Hello
Very few bank rate reset preferred shares indicate that there is a "NO NVCC" clause. An example are the above noted two preferred shares.
Can you please tell us what the NO NVCC clause means and how these bank rate reset preferred shares differ from ordinary bank rate reset preferred shares?

Q: Revamping my 70 year old partner’s portfolio, looking for income and modest growth.
Being quite overweight in financials, wanting to exchange some or all of these positions: MKP, AI, TF, ZWB. Add to my BNS (currently 2%), and diversify into other sectors.
Is it worth keeping any of the Mortgage related MKP, AI, TF? Is FSZ lower risk? US banks/ETF?
I expected the upside of ZWB to be significantly less than ZEB, but when I compared the charts they seem like two dogs chasing the same ball, never far apart. Very similar up and downside, is that your view also?

Q: I noticed that Trisura has a potential run up in the bid / ask (~$6) compared to last night's closing price ($38.02 - 38.50 range). Over the past 4 - 5 months there has been insider buying yet, I cannot find news short of calling them directly. They seem to be immune from work stoppages unless a contractor goes bankrupt. In the Corporate Insurance, segment, there could be a slowdown in top-line growth though they have a good renewal business. Their policies do not cover business interruptions from the pandemic. Also, given that they are a wholly owned sub of Brookfield Asset Mgmnt., I have a good comfort level and am considering moving to a full position. May I have your thoughts?
Thank you

- Fiera Capital Corporation Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (FSZ)
- AGF Management Limited Class B Non-Voting Shares (AGF.B)
Q: What is your opinion on replacing AGF.B with FSZ? I’m underwater big time with AGF.B, would incur a loss in my trading account and hopefully gain some of the loss with the FSZ dividend and possibly growth.
Thank you.
Thank you.
