Q: Hi Peter and team,

Genworth Financial just reported Q3 earning, and it's very disappointing. Stock has been down 50% so far today. I would appreciate your opinion on this company. Thanks!

Q: I have a 3.85% postion in XGD right now with a 22% loss so far. My question to you is should I be cost averaging in this ETF or should i cut my losses and take that money and invest in another sector on the way up. From what i understand the recovery in gold could take years rather than months. If switching sectors makes sense what sector and what ETF would you recommend.

Q: What do you think of Ebix?

I did a simple screen of US stocks and came across this one with a low PE (below 10) and a modest dividend (above 2%). Why has it performed so poorly and is it reasonably safe to invest for the medium term?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are your thoughts on FIE (iShares Canadian Financial Monthly Income ETF)?

It looks good on paper - good diversification, good dividends, but on the other hand performance over 5 years pales in comparison to something like BNS.

Is it worth it for the instant diversification in the financial sector, or are you better with 2-4 stocks?

Thanks,

Mike.

Q: Peter,
I have a mixed bag of CDN and US stocks in my RRSP. I like Blackstone, especially for its dividend. However unlike many of my US holdings, the dividends are reduced by a withholding tax. Does this have something to do with being an LP?
