Q: How seriously should we take the Canadian banks when they all increase their year-end loan loss provisions significantly? Is this really a harbinger of a slowing economy or am I being too cynical to think that this is a good way for management to build in some "wiggle room" going into the new year? Loan loss provisions are the one area management can use to massage headline numbers and perhaps boost profits next year if results are not so good.
Appreciate your insight.

Q: Your thoughts on the Canadian banks? What's your favorite?
Q: Given the quarter results and the missed earnings and the resulting lower stock price is this a good TD buying opportunity if I already own a position in BNS and am looking to add another bank for diversification in the financial space or do you prefer another Canadian bank?
Q: Hello,
TD quarter results seems not good. I have TD stocks. I am wondering if I should sell TD and buy other banks.
Thanks

Q: Would you continue to hold CM if you had it. If not what would you swap it with.
Q: Would you add as its making all time highs?
Q: Any reason your team is aware of why ECN has surged 10% the last few days? Seems a bit out of the norm.
Q: With most bank results in, just waiting on TD now, and the biggest hits to earnings having been loan-loss provisions and capital markets (in the case of RY) can you see if short interest has again spiked on the backs of these earnings, or has it remained relatively flat since the famous 'big short' trader publicly shorted them in the early part of this year?
Q: Thoughts on BMO's quarter and associated layoffs? From a value perspective do you feel that it's a good time to enter or do you think it may slump even further?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Q: I bought SLF a few years ago expecting to benefit from increasing interest rates. SLF has been a stellar performer despite the trend of lower interest rates this past year, especially at the longer end of the curve.
I’m certainly not complaining but am a little confused by the strong performance in a weakened rate environment.
Could you shed some light on the reason for their outperformance and prospects going forward. (I’m thinking of taking some profits)

Q: Wondering why the stock is down so much today on the CEO news. While terrible news - this was an issue while employed elsewhere - so can you shed some light on why it would cause such a decline on TMX Group? I would think it would only mean a change in leadership. Seems like an overreaction (from a stock price perspective only).
Q: What is happening for TMX Group Ltd. (X)? It is a big drop to-day.
Do I need to sell?
Many thanks for your valuable advice.

Q: Good morning, Please comment on Versabank's recent quarter. Also, how does their forward PE compare to similar companies and the big banks? They now have a book vallue of $9.98 vs, stock value around $7.30, why the gap? Also, any thoughts on their new initiatives, specifically Versa Vault. I know you removed this from the growth portfolio early this year, do you think you would put it back in based on growing divvy and new initiatives?
Thanks
Rob
