Q: Hi guys. I've been looking at Equitable Group (ETC). 2014 estimated earnings is $6.07 giving it a forward p/e of 6.09. 2013 estimated earnings is $5.49 giving it a p/e of 6.75.

Any idea what the historical p/e norm is for companies like ETC? Seems dirt cheap but with a div of less than 2% I'm guessing it can remain dirt cheap for long periods of time.

Q: Peter - what are your thoughts on FIE - Claymore Financial Monthly Income Fund. I like the 7.3% Yield. I am looking at a 10% weighting in my portfolio. Is the low daily volume trade in this fund a concern? What are the risks? Thank You.

Any thoughts on Horizon's SilverYLD - HZY - Last at $5.05 with a 9% yield paid monthly. With the potential rebound in silver over the next couple of years, would you recommend a position?

Q: I'm looking to buy at least one of the Big-5 Canadian Banks. There is all this chatter in the last 2 years about a housing crash and I'm not immune to this constant rhetoric in the news and blogosphere. Therefore I'm hesitant to put money into these banks, but I also don't want to ignore the pretty stable dividends that they can provide. Would you suggest that I make the investment in the banks now and if so, which of the big 5 is the safest?

Q: Generally speaking, would you expect to see decreased earnings and profit growth from the banks as interest rates increase.

Q: Hi 5i! I have been a long time holder of Manulife (MFC). Now with the prospect of rising interest rates, insurers are back in favour. Would you recommend holding on to MFC or making the switch to Sunlife (SLF). If not Sunlife, which would be your preferred insurer?

I am slowly turning over my portfolio to 5i's covered stocks and/or model portfolio!

Thanks for helping us retail investors!

Q: Hi Petr:

You recommended FSZ last week on BNN. I'm having trouble interpreting its P/E ratio of 165. I presume you are using something else instead of earnings as a comparator. Could you explain?
