Q: It seems like everyone is positive on TD's future prospects. Yet no one mentions the potential monetary fines that could be levied against TD associated with money laundering. Why is that? Everyone appears to be very complacent about the probe over anti-money laundering. If the fines were substantial, could TD shares not take a hit? Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: I was fortunate to buy into this stock and thanks for your recommendation by way of including it in your model portfolio. My position has now grown to 7%. I have a high risk tolerance , do not need the proceeds for personal cash flow. Given the momentum I am targeting a 10% position at which time I will trim back to likely 7%. Is my thinking ok or am I being overly agressive. Thanks John

Q: Hi,
I am looking for your opinion on this stock and ETF. The stock is listed as the 11th holding in the ETF for regional banks, KRE. It caught my attention as it seems to be breaking out of a long term base. Also is JNK a good ETF, and if not what alternatives would you suggest that pay a decent dividend. Would I be right is thinking JNK will be negatively affected if interest rates begin to drop? Deduct credits as you feel appropriate. Thanks - your advice and insight is always appreciated!

Q: Greetings:
It has been considerable time since a question has been asked about Timbercreek Financial, formerly Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation. Interest rate now almost 10%-- Was higher in Oct, 23 when price fell badly. I have owned it for years. Apparently they are finishing settling a big bad loan- I have no idea how much they lost and would like to know. Could you please provide as much info about this MIC as possible. Would you buy more or sell? I believe it is back on the road to recovery, or would you buy something like Atrium. or sell both.

Thanks very much for your speedy replies. Wonderful.
Ben.

Q: A few days ago you were talking that you were replacing some of Sun Life with IFC. I acted on this, but so far I wish I had not have made the move. IFC has been selling some of their animal products to a UK firm from what I have read and I get the impression that does not sit well with investors. Is there anything you know about this situation that I am unaware of? Thank you.

Q: I bought them all last April and the draw down got as low as 15%--they have all made a comeback now except BNS still down 8%----Do you think this resurgence is sustainable and a good time to add to my holdings?
Thanks

Q: Thanks for your explanation on BN and BAM ..... However I still don't see the thesis for buying BN ..... Mr Market is giving no credit to " cash in the bank " ..... Mr Market knows everything we do yet gives the capital gains to BAM.... For example BAM is up 3.57% today and BN is up 1.6% on an upmarket day .... And since inception BAM has consistently been the one rewarded .... Mr Market is giving the nod for both income and growth currently to BAM...... Why shouldn't I have my cake and eat it too ?
