Q: So with the various central bank moves, should I be nervous about holding Bankers Acceptances? They currently are my dry powder to buy stocks when things clear up. Would it be better just to hold cash or TBills?

Q: ZWK has fallen dramatically in this oil and coronavirus crisis. It now yields more than 10% with a 16 cent monthly distribution. Is this higher yield now a red flag for this ETF and U.S. Banks in general? Your thoughts are appreciated on the risks for it going forward, and given it's holdings and exposure to this downturn, and history, the likelihood that it may cut it's distribution. Thank you.

Q: Hi, I was thinking of adding to Sun Life with its current low valuation and high dividend. This sounds morbid but a friend of mine suggested if there is a high death rate from COVID-19, then SLF might have to make out higher than normal payouts affecting its profitability. I realize this is not its only business. What say you sage folks?

Thank you, Michael

Q: Loved your special updates. Please provide your insights as often as possible. Very helpful!

Bought some stocks last week and planning to continue slowly this week. It looks like it s going to be down tomorrow after the Fed announcement...

My wishlist is ready. Fairfax vs Onex, which one do you prefer for long term hold (if you like) or a bit of both. Can you briefly comment on main risks for Onex.

Thank you!

Q: Good Morning
The TSX has dropped about 30% from its peak but POW has dropped 39%. I will greatly appreciate it if you could provide some insight as to why POW has dropped so much compare to the TSX. Are there any specific issues related to this company?
I am inclined to start gradually buying at this level by buying every time there is a further drop from the $20.39 level.
Thank you

Q: Hello Team,
May I have your thoughts on both Invesco and Lazard asAmerican Asset Management companies.
Both I believe have growth and the valuation has been blown out of proportion.
If not, would you recommend siding with Morgan Stanley or JP Morgan as the better choices.

Thank you

Q: I've read the answers to previous ZWB questions and the risk seems minimal now with this decline in price to below $15, given these are Canadian banks. Are the two main risks, reduced bank dividends, and reduced or no income, causing further share price decline? What other risks may affect this ETF, and your thoughts on possible things that could cause a further price decline from here. Thank you.
