Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I serendipitously sold my BNS before the pandemic and have been slowly buying it back as it remains low compared to historical levels. I intend to go a little overweight as the dividend and value in the stock seems to me to be quite attractive, if you consider this a long term hold. If I retire in 10 years, this seems to me to be a great purchase now and that I will look back at myself thankfully for making this purchase now.

Do I need to be looking at this differently? I know there BNS faces risk in Central America but it otherwise seems like a good buy now.

Q: I know you've said in the past that one could replicate FIE relatively easy by owning say 3-4 bank stocks and an insurance company - but I don't think you could get the same yield as FIE, which is close to 8%. Even after subtracting the MER, I don't think you can match the yield (which is somewhat confusing to me).
Can you? If not, would you see a benefit in owning FIE?

Thanks

Q: Do you feel there is a need to go into the US to get additional financial exposure, into something like GS or JPM? Or would RY be sufficiently diversified given its size, and international diversification.

Q: Peter, can you shed any light on the dramatic price action following MOGO's financial release. It shot up from 1.25 to 3.45 following the release (175%+) and has now settled back to around 1.70 as I write this. The trader in me would expect some gap filling here, but I have no idea why the stock spiked as sharply as it did.
