Q: My question is on Annaly Capital Management . NLY recently reported .47 a share earnings for the quarter against the streets estimates of .34 a share. The US fed has pretty much told us what will happen with interest rates and NLY will complete the Crexus deal on May 26. Yet the share price has been declining since reporting.
Is this a buying opportunity ?
Thanks Garth

Q: I visit your site regularly; it is my main source for investing advice and information. I have a question on financials. I am currently underweight financials (4%) in the form of BNS. I am thinking it is time to consider increasing my weighting. I could add to BNS, which I like for it's global exposure, or diversify by adding TD for exposure to the US. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Q: HI, a bit of a long shot here, but do you have any insight into Guardian Capital (gcg)? The stock hardly ever trades at all yet their earnings growth and balance sheet seem pretty good. Could this be taken private? Also any idea why they own so many shares of BMO. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Peter
NA National Bank is off its years high by close to 10%. I started initiating a position yesterday and am considering adding the rest today or tomorrow. { currently down $1.06 today } Is there any reason for this drop in price other than the market pullback ? Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger. This will bring my portfolio financial sector to a little under 10% when the additional buy is made.

Q: Regarding your latest report on Aston Hill Financial, since the bulk of their business appears to be in mutual funds, is this not a "sunset" industry since so many investors are migrating to ETFs?

What are your opinions on investing in mutual fund companies directly without ever actually buying their funds? For example, a top holding of CDZ (Canadian Dividend Aristocrats ETF)is AGF since it pays such a high dividend, yet many analysts don't like AGF at all.
