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: 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: Why do you like the prospects for Sun Life relative to Great-West Life. GWO appeared to be in better shape to manage the financial crisis of 08/09 and would that not indicate that GWO is a better managed company?
Q: Peter and Team,
It looks like Sunlife absolutely destroyed out there last quarter. They had big beat on earnings and it looks like big growth in net income.
With the 4.5% pop today, its now 6.5% of my portfolio. Should I start trimming this a bit to rebalance other names>?

Q: I am 30 years old and have a fairly diversified portfolio. I own a small portion in financials already but I currently do not own any of the major Canadian banks. Do you think it is good timing to get into the Canadian banks considering my long time frame? Also would you look at an ETF such as ZEB or would you suggest picking 1 or 2 banks? I am currently looking into TD and Scotia.
