Q: Hi group - BNS taking a hit due to lass than stellar results (compared to other Cad banks) in the 2 nd quarter. I also own TD (trading near its high) my question is should I cash in 1/2 (500 shares) of TD and purchase more BNS to try and take advantage of the lower stock price (I am thinking that BNS has a lot more upside potential in the coming mths and years. Also I own the US banks and am becoming frustrated with their performance - what going on? they should be trading higher due to the strong economy?...Thanks for your guidance on this

Q: I currently own Visa and have done well. I like all of the payment processors. Should I stick with Visa, or take some profits and diversify into another processor? I am considering Mastercard, Square or Paypal.

Q: Why would you buy a short term bond etf over laddering 1-5 year GIC. or for that matter just keep buying 1 year GIC.
I looked at BMO ultra short 5 year return 1.32.
I get it that it is liquid, but GIC has no risk.
Am I missing something?

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)?
