Q: The new report on HCG has the 5 year ROE blank, yet assigns an A. TD rates this number at 22% (TTM); would you agree? Also aren't the brokers deeds of falsifying data fraudulent and actionable by the company? There ought to be some recourse for HCG to recover commissions paid out in good faith. Thanks, J.

Q: Just a comment.This company did a bought offering and was oversubscribed at $16.50 as recommended by the brokers. Why the big drop in less than 3 months?? I think I am getting an education as how the brokers do their business. Someone is making money shorting this stock and selling of the offering to suckers like me. I can understand 5i not recommending this anymore

Q: Hi, on Aug 17 you stated the following about the CAD banks:
"If you can find a better sector at 10X earnings with good dividend growth, low volatility then a switch makes sense. There just are not many sectors/stocks with those qualities."
For an income portfolio, can you advise of some other stocks in other sectors that currently have the qualities of the CAD banks as stated?

Q: If interest rates rise eventually, do you see a risk of a dividend cut? What is their payout ratio? Would you prefer MKP or one of their peers. Do you believe the sector has bottomed out? Does the high dividend signal troubles ahead?
Thanks for your service?

Q: This US listed Dutch insurance company released earnings Thursday and to my inexperienced eye they seemed OK. The market thought otherwise. I can't find an obvious reason for the 20% sell off in the stock price and you would think the dividend increase would help not hurt. What if anything am I missing?
Q: Would appreciate your insight and feedback on investing in Premium Income today. Where can I find out what it holds in the fund and do you thins the dividend of 13.26% is safe? Thanks
Q: 9 days ago Power Corporation declared EPS of 0.90, 18% above the consensus. Since then it's in a strong downtrend. These days it's the stocks that miss earnings that get punished. It's now below the 50 day MA. Over the last 15 days, on down days, the volume was average so it's not weak volume. The stock is cheap and pays a dividend of 4.1%. Out of all my holdings, this one makes the least sense. Can you dig into the earnings to help me find what BayStreet didn't like? It must be more than the weak market. If there's nothing, can you share anything in the technicals I may have missed? Thanks!
Q: I would like to get back into Canadian banks. I still own a small position in TD and BNS but my largest positions are in US banks. TD is often touted as more American than Canadian. In that sense TD seems like a very poor performer when looking at it on the NYSE. When comparing it to Wells Fargo for example TD is down 25% on the year while WFC is up 14%. This must spook american investors and its not looking as like a good choice when selecting banks. Should we just stay with US banks and let TD/BNS find a bottom?
Q: Its been a while since any questions were asked on WETF and they continue to show strong growth and diversify their product line up. Do you have any comments on the most recent quarter or outlook for the company moving forward? Thanks,
Q: Sold all my bank stocks and bought ZWB---good div and spreads the risk
Now down about 5%---I think a recovery in Banks is inevetable but have sure been wrong before--what do you see in the future for the CAN banks? At this level thinking of buying more ZWB

Q: What do you think of EFN's earnings? Is this a good time to buy?
Q: Hi,
I currently own V, but I am considering a switch to AXP.
The primary motivation is valuation. The larger yield is also attractive.
Do you have an opinion on Visa vs American Express?
Thank you.

Q: What can you report on this company? Many thanks.
Q: Hello Peter,
I know that past returns are not always indicative of future returns, but looking at the returns and dividend increases of the past 15 years of the Canadian Banks and Enbridge, I am assuming that I may not get the same returns but am expecting atleast 7 percent return on the capital if I take a 10 year view. This is on the basis of the past and looking at the viability of the companies and their dividend payouts (Banks and Enbridge). As an example, If I invest 100k across the banks and Enbridge, my dividend would average about 3500K per year (approximate). 10 years from now, I am assuming the stock portfolio would go to 200k and result in a dividend of 7000k per year (3.5 percent of 200k or 7% of the original investment). Does this strategy makes sense and also should my total weight of the banks and Enbridge not exceed 20% ( assuming I am a medium risk investor). I am basically looking to invest a portion of my RRSPs into the banks and Enbridge and leave it for the long haul. If you feel i can increase my weight and add other sectors to the mix that can give me similar results, please advise. Any comments please

Q: Good morning 5i. What's your perspective on Power Corp. It's been dropping steadily since I bought it a few months ago, notwithstanding that all the analyst ratings through my brokerage service rate it a buy or strong buy. Should I hold, or switch to another opportunity? Thanks.
