Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good Morning,
Some recent pressure on Canadian bank stocks lately, do you see this continuing in the near term? I would like to add some BNS to a taxable account, what are your thoughts. This will be a long term hold. Have TD and RY in TFSA and RRSP.
Also what are your thoughts on CNR for a long term investment in a taxable account.
Thank you

Q: I am a senior , I am of the view that bonds , preferred shares, fixed income are not as effective an investment device compared to Canadian bank shares. I don't see a lot of risk over the years, but large and consistent yields. Besides liquidity in a bad recession, where else do you see downside by treating bank stocks as fixed ,long term income investments, hence overweight positions in a portfolio.Thanks to a great team for your exceptional service, Jerry

Q: I have owned HCG since 2000.This is a stock I thought I may never sell, but due to circumstances I have considered selling especially after your advise to get out. At what price would you sell as the stock can go up or down 15% in a day? I do not think putting a market price would by wise. I was considering selling at $8.00 per share but the next day the shares were down to about $6.75. Today they are trading at $7.75.

Q: Would you recommend investing in this preferred at this time (given the drop in its price recently), and would you consider the preferred as a safer investment vs investing in the common shares. The reset is Canada 5 year bond yield + 4.78% (September 30, 2019). I am not sure, but are there any more Canada bonds to be issued going forward? If not how will the rate be set in the absence of further Canada bonds being issued..

Q: Hi, I'm looking for growth companies in the Financial sector, either Canada or US. I already have major banks covered, and not a big fan of the "payday loan" type companies that finance at very high rates such as gsy. Do you have any recommendations here, in the context of likely 2 small interest rate hikes per year in the US for the next couple of years, and generally positive economy?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I must admit that most financial lending or managing institutions who specialize in some type of financial engineering make me nervous...Canadian Banks excluded! Please give me your assessment of this company...would you classify it as a respectable contra play or just a bad idea? Ha!Ha!
