Q: Hi,
My question is regarding the EFN.PR.C preferreds. Are they worth holding onto considering the overall company situation? My goal here is to protect capital at this point for this particular account.
Your take on these things is always appreciated.

Fiera Capital Corporation Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (FSZ $6.09)
Q: What is your outlook/opinion on CIX with it's reduced dividend? Will it ever be a $30 stock again?
On an Oct. 23 question, FSZ was mentioned as maybe a better option when looking for income in retirement, but FSZ has a large 6% yield currently. Would you also like MIC with a solid 4.5% yield and a recent 9% dividend increase announcement. (we are looking to stay in the financial sector, but not the big banks or insurco's - already have those covered. Thx. (multiple credits here..).

Q: Hi,
Does JPM, BLK offer better value as compared to BNS, TD. Do we need to diversify in to US Banks or Canadian banks and insurance companies are a good diversification for the Financials sector allocation.
