Q: Hello Peter & Team,

Bought it @$14. Sold 25% of my position at $19.11 last May.

Saw your last comment end of Oct re the speculative shorting taking place. I do plan on holding for the long term but, would like your opinion on what effect the Fed raising rates (appears to be inevitable... again) may have on the price.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Hi Folks - When interest rates start to rise (I'm 54, so it could be in my lifetime) I've read that lifeco's do well as would rate reset preferreds. On lifeco's, could you suggest a few in the US, and on rate resets, is there an ETF that holds them but not perpetuals? Thanks.

Q: with an interest rate hike in the US seeming more likely in December, is it time to make a move to US financials? I currently have ZUB but would ZBK be the better choice? with an interest rate hike, would this strengthen the US$ and by buying ZBK would it profit from both the move to US financials and a strengthening US$?

What do you think of adding ZBK and keeping ZUB. I'm fairly diversified and this move would increase my weighting in financials overall.

Thanks

Q: I have been following this company for a while, but have not yet purchased. Good thing, as the price keeps dropping. The latest earnings report looked quite good to me. One comment I have heard about the company is that they started share buybacks and a dividend to boost the share price, but that this is actually a negative, because they will need to borrow more money at higher rates to fund its loan growth, which adds to risk. What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Q: Good Morning Team,

I'm thinking of switching some money out of my current financial holdings into FSZ but am not sure if it's a good idea. What I mean is that, while the yield is much better with FSZ, its PE is more or less on a par with the big banks. At present, I have HCG 4.4%, TD 3.3% & RY 1.9%.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
As always, thank you very much.

Q: Your response to Grant on the above topic sparked a question in my mind.

When I read your response of IGM vs CIX i believe, if I comprehend your response clearly, you seem to prefer CIX as it has many benefits over IGM.

However IGM is in your income portfolio and CIX is not.

Can you clarify, if I were to buy one or the other would you reccommend CXI over IGM?

Thanks
