Investment Q&A

Q: TD shows ECN’s projected earnings over next four quarters as 25 cents. Originally the preferred shares (ECN.PR.A) were rated Preferred -3 Low but perhaps deserve a higher rating if the common share estimated earnings are correct. Any view on the merit of adding to a small holding of this preferred (for income)?

Q: what do you think of Manulife would you buy this stock.

Q: I have a question about CX!- It seems to be dead money with no apparent prospects in sight. Would you sell it ? /what would you replace it with? (I have 12% in Financials) Thanks for your help on this

Q: Hi guys, I'm looking to reduce the number of holdings to 2 or 3 US financials. Please let me which names you like most from the following: BRK.B, C, JPM, ING, MET,V.

Thanks for your help!

Q: I was surprised that RY only increased its dividend by 4%. A sign of slower growth to come for this bank in particular? The other major banks seem to be increasing at a higher rate.

Q: Hello
May I have your views on FN. I have owned it for some time and I am worried that increases in interest rates may cause a decline in the share price
Cheers

Q: Our worst performing investment is CIX, which we've held for several years, that's currently 40% below book (inc. of dividends). It represents 1% of our investments, 3% of our equities. The charts seem to indicate it's falling even faster in recent times. Your advice please.

Q: Can you comment on Q21 results? I’ve been watching this name for awhile, would now be a good time to tke a position in this small cap? What do you think going forward? Thanks!

Q: Your thoughts on BHF? It seems to be trading at a very low multiple in terms of its price to cash flow. I'm thinking there may be an opportunity here as rates begin to rise. How would you compare it to other life insurance companies in the US?

Thank you.

Q: Could I please have your analysis on the last quarter results. Buy, sell or hold?

Q: Could i have your comments on their earnings.

Q: Hello,
I've held shares in SLF for a couple of years now and even taking into account the dividends, I am slightly underwater.
From all indications, the latest quarter was good. If I listen to the pundits, the environment for the company, and insurance companies in general, is positive with interest rates increasing but yet the shares don't seam to go anywhere.

In your expert opinion, what would explain the lack of positive momentum for SLF? Is there something fundamentally wrong with the company? Is their large mutual fund business segment worrying investors because of competition from ETF's?

I am more than willing to give this company more time and am very interested in your thoughts.

I thank you in advance for your reply.
Dan
