Q: The six major Canadian Banks are now at or approaching their 52 week lows and paying healthier dividends. Would you step in now or do you see further price deterioration and which two would be your favourites and for what reasons?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Would you recommend FN/MKP at this time, do you think the dividend is safe, would you think these stocks will take more of a hit? Would this be an OK place to park cash for 1 - 2 years. When interest rates rise, will the stock price erode further? What is the payout ratio. I Understand that this investment would be mainly for income?
Thanks for your service,

Q: Please provide an update as it has broken down on price and looks like the bottom maybe $50. Is it worth holding or is the housing market going to go down from here.
Q: Good Morning,
Would you be able to tell me when CWB reports next? Also is there anything wrong with the bank other than it is caught up in the same sentiment as the energy sector?
Thankyou
Larry

Q: I've been considering buying IGM since you added it to the income portfolio, but wonder if it would make more sense to add PWF? I gather PWF would be more stable and participate in IGM's growth, but at a lower yield. Would that make sense for an income oriented portfolio, or would you just stick with IGM?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Hi Peter and Staff I hold a small position in MIC and have felt stock would go up when rates they charged went up. I have stayed away from fund managers fearing fee disclosure would affect them. Having said all this I assum from comments in the past and today's report on FSZ that you would endorse a switch from MICto FSZ? Am I correct ? Thanks for all you do
Q: Hello,
Based on your reply today, to a previous post, it seems that you think CXI has better growth opportunities compared with IGM.
Is this correct?
Thanks

Q: This question dates some years back but it still bothers me: why did not a single money manager, commentator, etc. ever express any reservations about Manulife before the stock crashed big time? They all said it was marvellous, solid, excellent management, etc. Did noone really have any idea of its problems? It's left me mistrustful ever since.
Thanks,
Astrid

Q: I realize that there is much to like about CXI, but wonder if its post-banking-license-value is already reflected in the share price; as such, what's to prevent a sell-on-news decline? Put another way: for the price to go up, there needs to be a meaningful number of potential investors who haven't bought-in, yet, because they don't think the license is going to happen (or happen any time soon.) But there seems to be a consensus that it will, so where's the driver for price appreciation?
Q: Hi Peter & Team: Your comments to Allen's question today: "but expect a flat to declining sector..." I own this in my Riff and in a loss position, should I let it go? Thank you.
Q: I have both which would you own?Thanks for your great effort! What would you replace if you think I should in the same sectorThaks Cliff
Q: Hi Peter,
You mentioned that if you had to pick a mutual fund, you like CI Financial. I personally am very fond of the Mawer Balanced fund, which you also mentioned as a good family of funds.
Of coarse a good way to make money is to buy the fund company rather than the funds...
I currently hold IGM (Investors Group), but I am wondering if you think CIX would be a better choice going forward.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: I wrote you on MIL.us in Oct 2014. Your comment resonated with me and I held on(I have a large capital loss which I cannot use). I am still perplexed about MIL. Biases aside, I would throw MIL overboard. However MIL shows it is as generally an excellent value-growth situation. MIL looks very good on commonly used metrics ---except for momentum.
MIL has proposed to buy a small bank in Europe and is making changes on its board. I am hard pressed to find anything overly negative on MIL-- certainly nothing that would prevent it from winning the passionate love of investors.
Are you aware of reason(s) that prevent MIL’s share price from getting off the mat? Is the attractive dividend vulnerable to cuts?

Q: Can you provide an update on EFH? Do you think it is a buy at his time?
Q: We currently hold TD, BNS and BMO. Is there any advantage to holding ZWB instead of individual Canadian banks in the current market environment? Would the covered-call overlay produce additional returns over holding the individual banks?
Q: Compared to the other banks would you agree BNS is the bank with the highest exposure to commodities especially with its exposure to latin america. Also with the weakening Canadian economny how significant will loan loss provisions be in the not so distant future not only for BNS but the other banks?
Q: seems to be a lot of bank recommends lately, your feelings on that and can you give me your best advice in canada and usa
Q: Peter : How do you view todays news--Good bad or neutral Thanx Robbie
