Q: I have losses and 2% positions in each of these companies in a well diversified portfolio. Do you suggest moving on and selling any of these, especially after the gov't mortgage rule changes. What replacements might you suggest. I already own TD, BNS and SLF at 3% each.

Q: WOULD YOU BUY HCG TODAY? THANKS
Q: First National (FN-T) is down over 6% today, presumably due to talk of federal mortgage rule changes. I like the stock but would appreciate your views about the current outlook and whether this might be a buying opportunity or a falling knife situation. Many thanks.
Q: Will the new federal housing initiatives adversely impact Its business, and if so, are you able to quantify rough;y that impact and does the drop constitute a buying opportunity for a long term hold? Thx
Q: Would you recommend buying this name on the dip today amid housing concerns?
Q: Banks will now have more "skin in the game" and possibly will offer lower mortgages. What are the chances that this will mean HCG and other non-bank mortgage insurers will have the benefit of having more demand for their product, with more favourable underwriting conditions?

Q: Peter,
For derivative exposure re. wells Fargo, it has almost none as a percent of total exposure.
for the others:
JPM aound 7%
City around 9%
Goldman around 13%
Morgan Stanley around 28%
So on that metric only, Wells is a pretty good bet, notwithstanding the abomination of what they just did and their complete ignorance of respect of customers (50 shades of gray) and of respect of employees!!

Q: A follow up question to one earlier today. You say that you would expect a bid of between $18 and $22 for the announced privatization. CBL is only trading at around $16.50 suggesting the market either expects a lower bid (which shareholders would probably not accept) or that there is considerable uncertainty that the privatization bid doesn't happen.
Either way the market does not see this announced potential privatization as credible?? Do you agree and does the company have a history of looking at this without being serious? Thanks

Q: Hi,
I read the IMF has warned about the system risk posed to the financial system, including insurance companies, by Deutsche Bank. I own shares in GWO. Should I sell the shares and allocate the money into a safer company. If yes, which company would you recommend?
Thank you!

Q: OK, I will try this again (please disregard my previous attempts (2) (uncompleted questions). With all the ganging up on Wells Fargo is this a good time to buy? It is wery near a 52 week low as I write this. Also should this not be in your database as WFC.US?
Q: Any insights? Deutsche bank is trading below 2008/9 lows and falling. I read top 10 hedge funds are pulling out.
Q: Over the past year HCG is down ~ 15% while FN is up ~ 45%. FN has an attractive yield and low PE ratio ~ 13 according to TMX. I hold most stocks in your balanced portfolio so wonder if it would be time to sell HCG and replace with FN.
Appreciate your comments on this trade. Thanks to your recommendations in BE portfolio I own many profitable stocksI would not have bought otherwise.

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you have any information on the jump in Canaccord today? I have been looking to dump these shares for a while but have been hoping to do so closer to $5. Before I sell i'd like to know if there was any good news released today that I may be missing. Volume looks pretty normal.
Thanks,
Joe
