Q: I am pleasantly surprised at SQ performance. Visa is one of the most steady stock and have done well for me . I am considering trimming the gains of V to initate a half position on SQ. Would you consider this a reasonable move
Q: I own Sun life but would like to add another growing insurer that pays a decent dividend. I am considering buying any one of the above or perhaps you would offer another better qualified company. Much thanks. Maureen
Q: Recently I have noticed a high level of insider buying at ECN. Is that the case based on your data? This looks to me like a strong sign from management. I am currently at break even so thinking of adding some more.
Q: Good morning...my financials listed above make up 12.8% of my portfolio. (TD 3.8, BNS, 3.3, SLF 3.1 and GS 2.6)..I was looking at changing it up a bit and selling GS and adding to either TD, BNS or SLF..dividend not a big concern...looking for a bit more growth potential in the Financials...what do you think? or other alternative..
Thanks
Q: While VISA is 32% of our financial sector holdings, it is only <6% of total portfolio. All the rest of financial sector holdings are <2.5% of total portfolio.
Q: I would like to increase my global exposure and was looking at Cymbria, or would Edgepoint Global be a better investment? From your last answers on Cymbria, you stated it was trading at a high premium. What would be a good entry point to buy Cymbria? I notice it has come down a little bit since then. What about the management fee for these products, are they reasonable?
Thank you for all the advice I have received over the years!
Q: I have an a US "balanced" portfolio that holds V (and also BAC) , you suggested in an earlier answer to another person that for diversification, might take a position in SQ. If both V and SQ were held, what weightings would you consider giving V and SQ, and also BAC, like 5, 4, 3 or 2 %, within the Financial sector portion of the portfolio as a whole?.....thanks....Tom
Q: Invesco just announced that its assets under management grew by less than 0.1% in August vs July. That does not seem like a good omen -appears to be capital gains growth inside portfolios (~3% S&P) just outpacing withdrawals.
In your opinion, what weighting should be given to this metric in this industry vs the large dividend yield 5% and low P/E of 8?
