Q: I know your not crazy about this stock,but looking at it from purely an income play the dividend has already been cut and its pays 7% and other than a couple very temporary blips its basically at an all time low(i know could still drop more)im just thinking i could possibly hold this company between 5.50 and 7.00 for a long time and collect a nice payout and who knows the canadian landscape of these types of companies is getting smaller every year,could be a take out candidate,could you tell me the payout ratio,new management any possible head or tail winds you see in the next couple of years possibly... THANKS

Q: Sold my full position in RY in open div account in Nov to ink some nice gains over several years.

Of course, this timing was perfect to miss the nice Dec bump. Out at 213, now around 235.

I also have BNS in this account of 10 or so holdings and was planning to get right back in to RY after the 30 day period. Now have sellers remorse. What to do?

Thanks

Jim

Q: Good morning, Goats!

JPM is a favourite. With its cheaper valuation and current rate outlook it will benefit more on broad banking and scale. Is it landing on the higher valuation side of things now?

A crypto recovery, IPO’s, M&A activity, strong markets continuing. Garp and other metrics would favour GS.

What say you? Does GS actually pull away here on another steady run? Or would you still pick the more conservative and diverse JPM. If there is an alternative winner please share.

Thanks for all the continued work this incredible team does.

Q: After a quiet year, P&C Insurance stocks are showing some buyers' interest, over past 2 months. We sold IFC and FFH positions, late last year. Do you think, the sector is showing some strength and it is a good time to re enter ?

If Yes, what would be your preferred route- Fairfax or Intact and why ?

In my personal view, Fairfax stock has shown remarkable resilience vis-a-vis Intact and Co is more diversified, with several interesting investments like Foran mining, Orla mining etc and potential for more similar investments. ( They sold their position in Eurobank ).

Thank You
