Q: Hello

I have been holding on to Wells Fargo for the last few years and unfortunately have missed the run up with the other US banks. Its currently in my TFSA, I've been considering selling and purchasing BAC or JPM. Which one would you recommend, is there still some upside? Etrade Financial (although more online trading platform) is another option, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: The dividend yield for CIBC is significantly higher than the other four big banks in Canada. I recently heard that if there is a real estate downturn that CIBC would be the most negatively affected because it has the greatest exposure to residential mortgages.
My question is why do you think the dividend yield is higher for CIBC?

Q: Lately, a few analysts at BNN have mentioned about canadian banks being overvalued. I own TD, NA, BNS with about 4% each on the portfolio. All in registered accounts and above purchase price. Would it make sense to sell all (or some) and wait in case they correct ?. If yes, what can they be replaced with ? Thanks
