Q: Hello and thanks for all of the great responses and reports.

I bought MG in the $35 range and have enjoyed the run up but think it is pretty much fully valued. I have trimmed some earlier this year and would like to move out of it into a lifeco which most folks seem to think have more room to run. Which big boy do you think has better upside SLF or MFC?

Thanks
Jerry

Hello Peter....
Best withes on the ride!
I have owned a 1.4% position in Great-west Life [GWO] and a 1.7% position in Sun life [SLF] since December 2013. SLF is up 11% and GWO down 1% since I bought them. These are held primarily for income. I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should just do nothing and collect the dividends which are about the same for both companies [SLF 3.5% and GWO 3.8%] or whether I should sell the GWO with essentially no loss or gain and put the money into SLF, in the expectation of a little more growth. Is it worth the diversification to own both?
Many thanks...... Paul K

Q: Good Day. Please provide your views regarding MLF 's acquisition of the Canadian operations of Standard Life with particular emphasis relative to synergies, disclosed financing plan, future dividend policy and impact on growth and outlook for MLF? CEO says Three cents/year for next three years. At 12x EPS, it seems like its possible impact on the stock price could be negligible. Thanks.

Q: I am looking to buy some US bank stock and am looking at both JPM and BAC. Both have gone through difficult times and look like they have some upside. Do you agree with that? if so, is there one of these you prefer or another US$ bank you would alternatively recommend.
Thanks for all your advice.

Q: Hello Peter and 5i Team,
I have a general investment question regarding interest rates and how they affect the market sectors.
I have done done a significant amount of reading and some research on the topic ( not to mention office debates) but find conflicting information.
I know this is a complex topic but I'm sure some of the members would like to read your perspectives on the affects of increased interest rates on the market sectors such as the Financials and 'Life' insurances companies.
Thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi Peter and gang. What can you tell me about TIL Capital (TIL)
Earning per share first quarter of 0.69 seems to bode well for a stock priced in the $9.00 range. Your insight is much appreciated.
