Can you please comment on the recent quarterly results of both those insurers and a possible reason for the precipitous drop (over $120 i.e 8.5%) in FFH over the previous 2 days?
I currently have a portfolio weighting of 18.1% financials versus the recommended 15%. Individual stocks at 1/2 to full positions include the 4 banks, SLF, ING, MA, TSU, ONEX, BN and BAM. (I do need to consolidate I think).
All have been doing more or less what I would expect; except ONEX. It has been a frustrating stock to own, with a downtrend for the years, in my view, a management enrichment program.
The question - would it make more sense to shed this stock and perhaps one of the banks, then roll the funds into a BN or BAM.
Q: With the economy slowing and interest rate cuts on the horizon in the US and already occurring in Canada, should beneficiaries of the higher rates - insurance cos like TSU, FFH, and MFC be sold?
Q: Can I please have your thoughts on KKR. Your overall thoughts on the company and do you see more upside and your take on the recently announced earnings. Thank You.
Long-time holder of CBZ, which has been a consistent performer.
The share price has dropped significantly today after an earnings miss and a coincident announcement to acquire Marcum. Not sure which event is contributing more to the share price reduction... or if it's both.
Could you please comment on the current situation and future prospects for CBZ. Is this an opportunity to add to my position? Or do you expect the share price to languish for a while? If so, how long?
