Q: I hold both these U.S. banks which I bought back when "everybody needed to hold a US bank" which was only several months ago but seems like ancient history. This morning BBT was downgraded from a buy to underperform. Can I get your opinion on whether to continue to hold or take my losses and dump them.

Thanks, Carl

Q: I recently purchased FTN .to (Financial Split Shares Corp) as the NAV dropped below $15.00, the dividend was cancelled, and the share price dropped to $3.50 The NAV was $14.45 at Dec 31. Since Jan 2 the US and Canadian bank stocks have started a bit of a recovery and it seems like it wont take too much to regain the $15.00 NAV and dividend reinstatement.
What is your outlook for Canadian and US banks for the coming year and am I treading on thin ice here?? I know you aren't a particular fan of split shares, but it seems like there would be some nice capital gains and dividend if the NAV does go back over $15.
Thank you so much for your valued opinion.

Q: Hi Guys. BNP Paribas
I think its one of Frances largest publicly traded banks. It has a pretty good track record of being profitable, has a pretty broad product line, Insurance, wealth management etc, pays a good dividend, looks reasonably valued.
Would you feel this is a safe investment at this price for a long term hold, and is there a risk of it getting hammered even more like the U.S. banks did in 2008.
thanks Gord

Q: Hello,
i have little exposure to financials in my TFSA. What would be your top 3 ideas in order of preference at this time I could consider? I plan to own for the next 10 to 15 years if possible.
I was looking at GS and FSZ given the yield and they are trading near their lows. I guess the sub-sector they operate in makes me a bit cautious.
I own full positions of BNS and SLF in my RRSP.
Thanks,
Dan
