Q: Hi,
After the recent correction, US banks recovered (JPM, GS, C, BAC) but other finance sector stocks did not (AMP, MFC, AIG). Will future interest rate hikes will not benefit annuity business? At this pull back could AMP:N a good buy if I have some funds in RRSP to invest this year? I do hold TD:T and USB:N and MFC:T.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I currently hold positions in 3 of Canada's 5 big banks as above and they represent about 9% of my total portfolio. Giving pending interest rate increases in both the States and Canada, I am thinking of increasing my holdings in Canadian banking sector to about 12/13 percentage of total portfolio and would like your thoughts on this.
Cheers,

Q: Financials have a way of tanking hard during bear markets. I learned that first hand in 2009 when amongst the carnage I fortunately picked up several banks on the cheap. Now once again i'm looking at td bank for a solid Canadian stock purchase I regard this company as one of Canada's highest quality stocks. Ive read commentary from several sources to the effect that this stock is reasonably priced. And I certainly appreciate that it hasn't moved much this year and there are some tailwinds for financials currently. But bear markets seem to be the time to pick up bank stocks, not when everything seems rosy a decade into a bull market . With that said, would you add td here--or keep it on your watch list for the next severe correction. How would you personally play td.

Q: I realize that BNS is in your portfolio but if you were going to buy shares in a Canadian bank would you still suggest BNS as the top choice. I tend to lean toward Royal or TD as perhaps better choices at this time but would appreciate your opinion and thoughts on how each of the banks is positioned for best growth and how you would rank the three banks for purchase now.
