John

Q: Good morning. What's been driving the price of IGM down over the past month or so? Do you see a bottom soon? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, based on current valuation and strong management, which ones are best suited for future share price growth. can you please rank these in order of preference - BOA, JPM, MS, GS - GOLDMAN SACH. This is in RRSP

Q: Getting tired of all this sideways movement, time to trim from my position? I have a full position in my rrsp and don't require the dividend income. Thank You.

Q: As part of the financial sector of an income portfolio of a retiree would prefer POW or LB for "reliable" income with some (inflation) growth? Thanks.

Q: Please give me your opinion on this company. Will value finally increase...waiting for a long time already.
Thanks
Albert

Q: Greetings, Peter & Co.
Are there any major concerns you would have with a purchase of ECN Capital? Is the dividend considered 'safe'?
With appreciation.

Q: With all the hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, droughts, etc, etc ,etc. How can insurance companies profit? The Canadian Gov't is taxing everyone to death and there is only so much money left over for average people to carry coverage so something has to give and on top wages are not going up for these people.
I would like your take ion insurance with these obvious conditions.

Thanks, James

Q: With such overwhelmingly negative sentiment driving the stock price down to a multiyear low and a yield that is now over 6%, does it make sense to step in here or this a company to stay away from if you don't own it or sell if you do own it?

Q: Hello 5i.

After the huge drop in LB this year do you think the risk reward is worthwhile yet? That said is it bound to be a tax loss selling candidate or do you think it will already have washed all the sellers out before then?
Thanks TM

Q: Can I please get your opinion on CWB after their lest quarterly numbers.

Q: Hi Group thanks for your guidance - I continue to get nervous about the performance of Financials (both in Canada and US) Pypl + Sq + V.are off 3-4% this am - what happening there?. Banks in both Canada and US are struggling I would have expected(with all the good earnings / Good growth overall especially in the US that Financials would lead the market higher but something else at work here what's you take on the poor performance of the sector in general PS do you recommend taking profits in the Financial sector in general.$- thanks for you guidance on this

Q: Do you have a preferance IFC vs TSU or would you stay away from both for now?
Many thanks for your insight.
Ian

Q: Visa took a big drop today but I cannot see any news that would have triggered this. Any thoughts on whether this is a temporary blip or if there is company news that would cause the stock to go down?

thanks for your insight

Paula

Q: Looking to exit this name and add a better suited financial name for the next 5 years. What is your top choices in order of preference? (3+ year time frame)

Q: If you had to choose between Visa and Mastercard as an investment which would it be inside an RRSP?

Q: With CBL now trading well below book value, do you consider the company at risk of insolvency? Its covenant breaches have previously been waived but it is not clear if this will continue. On the other hand, their non-related party debt (non-Catalyst) seems manageable given their gross loans receivable.

Q: would you please comment on LB earnings announced today. I cannot tell from their statement whether they have now resolved an outstanding problem and are in a better go forward position or whether their earnings are - or are not - simply a miss, Thanks

Q: Please comment on these companies. Are they still a buy ?
Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: 9:50 AM 8/30/2018
I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion on Chesswood Group Ltd. Could you please comment on :

it's overall financial stability and growth prospects,
level of debts,
payout ratio,
robustness and sustainability of it's dividend,
rate of dividend growth,
level of insider ownership,
and how likely it is to do in a major market downturn.

How would you compare it to other companies in the same line of business and what would these be?

Would you recommend Chesswood for an income portfolio for a retiree and how large a position would you think prudent?

I see some insider sales recently in the $12.40 range and a lot of share buybacks in the $10.60 to $10.96 range. Does this mean the company thinks the shares are overvalued at present?

Thank you............. Paul K.
