Q: Dear Team: I want to buy 1 call option contract for BAC for January 2015 at $15.00 in my TFSA.
Today that would cost about 1.78. I know you only want to do Cdn stocks, so if you do not

Q: Hi Peter:
I bought some HCG at around 53 while the hedge fund managers were shorting this stock
It has recovered nicely and today, it went up again nicely
Where do one find the volume of short positions on this stock?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
What are your comments on the announcement that the US Government has launched a law suit against BAC. I'm in this one for a long term hold so not too concerned about volatility as I think the price will increase in the future.
Also I should ask if you think BAC is a good long term play in the US financials or o you think others will fair better? Perhaps a US financial ETF with a small grouping?
Thanks again for all your comments, replies and work.

Q: What are your thoughts on element financial (EFN.T)? Thanks
Q: Further to my earlier question about First National Financial (FN-T), I note that your previous analyses about FN said that the dividend payout ratio in the first quarter of 2013 was 132% up from 103% the previous year. The most recent RBC Capital Market foundation report on FN indicates that it was 68.6% in 2012 and estimates it to be 54.2% in 2013. Why such a discrepancy? As always, I look forward to your views.
Q: I would appreciate your assessment of the impact of the proposed restriction in mortgage guarantees from CMHC on First National Financial (FN-T). Thank you.
Q: Hi Peter,
What are your thoughts on the JP Morgan Tarp Warrants, JPM.WS currently at $17.43/share. The exercise price is $42 until October 2018. Currently JPM is at 56.00, say 57, therefore my break even is 17.43+42 = $59.43/share until October 2018. One could with some degree of confidence say that JPM should be higher than 60.00/share by October 2018 even assuming their current 6.00 EPS for the next 5 years.

Q: bHi Peter and team
Could you comment on the the First National preferred share, FN.PR.A. At the current price of 16.00 it yields 7.27% which seems high. It is a rate reset and converts to Floating Rate at 207 bps over the GOC 5 year index in 2016. So it has some inflation protection. Is there a risk here that I don't see. Thanks
