Q: Hi Peter & team, BNS and all banks keep falling....do you expect more downside? Also, if a stock trades in the US and Canada (like BNS does) do you check both exchanges to get a better"feel" before you buy/sell? I ask this because BNS in the US has come down to the level of February 2014.....are we to assume BNS Canada will also get down to its low of February which would be ~58.00?

Than you!

Q: Hi folks, I've been looking at adding this bank to my holdings. My view is the stock is not ready to buy yet as it appears to be trading in tandem with the price of oil. According to what I see the stock would be a buy around $15. Do you agree? What's are your thoughts on this strategy to play the fear in the oil markets. With much thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team!
GS has dropped below its 52 week high and is off its 52 week high by more than 25%. Is there any fundamental reason for this?
The dividend is good, is raised regularly and it also pays special dividends.
My wild guess is that there was takeover speculation that hasn't panned out but I thought that was an old story.
Any information and advice on whether to buy, sell or hold would be appreciated. My entry price was $22.50 (TFSA acct). Thanks!

Q: I have read your recent comments on AHF and would like to know if yesterdays release of Q4 assets under management has you concerned. I understand the decline in AUM is related to them trying to get out of lower margin products. My concern is I am not seeing where the offsetting increase is for higher margin business. I am not a fan of the "liquid alternative" funds they are currently promoting if that is where they think the higher margin business is going to come from. My guts are telling me to take my losses and move on. Am I too negative on this one?

Q: Here I thought I was a cool hand Luke, a cold hearted, non emotional stock trader but when I read in the Globe today that Bank of America's number two stock recommendation is to short Canadian Banks I could feel my dander getting up. Putting my patriotism aside do you reckon that there is there any reason to to think that they are on to something.

Q: For 2014 you had been recommending HCG. Despite the stock and my position losing $10 a share since I bought it on your supportive advice last summer, what is your advice now on your 2014 recommendation. It takes a huge recovery in the stock price to make up for this current losing position from those who bought it last summer, or fall. I know the stocks history but more interested in your call on what to do now on this one.

Q: TMX Group has been on a steady decline since June. This pretty much is the same timing as the drop in oil prices. Are the two correlated or is the X drop due to other factors such as a reduction in IPOs etc? Do you think it is currently at an attractive entry point for a long term income portfolio (a little bit of growth would be nice too of course). Many thanks
