Q: What are your thoughts about WETF on Nasdaq at current price? I've always held to the idea that it's better to own mutual fund companies that it is to own mutual funds themselves. With the popularity of ETFs now, Wisdom Tree seems like a decent choice despite paying no dividend. Thanks!
Q: I am not certain that you received my email: I noticed that at least two other members' questions had gone astray last week, and am wondering if the same happened here.
My request was, roughly, as follows:
1. Would you be able to provide a preferred comparison of AIG and MET: wondering if either one of these is a good play for insurance exposure, or would you recommend a Canadian
life-co over either one of those?
2. XEG: I have been simply "breaking even" on this one for the better part of 18 months and would like to switch to something with at least "some" growth in the energy sector. I was thinking of walking away from the ETF and switching to CNQ perhaps. What would be your opinion?
You like EFN for certain reasons but it is stuck in a range for quite some time now. Their current PE ratio is way high compared to the others. They are reporting on the 13th. Do you think they can significantly improve upon their earnings this time. How would you rank EFN from among the following list: HCG, SUM, RFC, EH, CFN, EFN and CXS.
Q: CXS continues to drop by a fair bit each day, with no apparent news of any kind to explain why. Is it possible that simply announcing a post-results conference call for investors on Nov 15 is giving investors the jitters? Thanks.
I am looking to diversify my financial sector holdings. Do you have a preference between CIX and AIG. AIG is certainly cheaper at this point based on current earnings but what about future growth?
Q: What are your thoughts on the earnings of both Magna (MG) and Home Capital Group (HCG)? They both seemed to have beat expectations, but both have dropped today. Any news we should be aware of?
Q: Peter - I have positions in the 5 major Canadian banks. All have dipped this morning, BMO far the worst. Yet I see that NA is actually up again. Is this just a regional thing or is there some value in NA that I can't understand. Should I drop BMO and buy NA?
Q: Good morning 5i team, just wondering if I could have your opinion/comments on the Q3 earnings just released by CDI (Canelson) and HCG (Home Capital Group). Thanks.
I stumbled into 10 shares of ELF last year on a recommendation of Moneysense magazine. It has done well and is now halted on an offering of $75 per share special dividend. What do you think of the company and what might happen such that you would consider selling.
I am another investor who thanks you for your excellent advise.
