Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good day,

Can I get your take on Blackrock’s earnings? Revenue growth seems to have slowed but do you see anything to worry about for a long term investor? I have a small position and am thinking of adding. Would you consider it an add or a hold for a long-term position and your reasoning, please?

Thank you,

Q: ALL hit another 52-wk low 14 July. It has done *miserably* compared to AFL. Yet , ALL remains a long-time member of the AAII Model Dividend portfolio. AFL is long-time favorite in the portfolio of “Crossing Wall St” ( the latter now has an ETF under the symbol CWS). Do you consider ALL oversold ? Is it a good value at around at USD 101 assuming two more Fed rate hikes of 25 basis points each? Or would you instead favor AFL?

If you are not impressed with EITHER of the above insurance companies, do you have a dividend payer you do favor? Your reasoning please, it always helps, thanks.

Q: I believe shares of BNRE are still exchangeable into shares of BN after their re-org, I know you are positive on the prospects of BN.
BNRE is starting as a smaller player in their industry but looks to aggressively grow.
By buying BNRE , at minimum , would you not get the same potential returns as BN but have potential for higher upside if their insurance business grow successfully.

Thank you

Q: What is your opinion on the insurance providers currently and future outlook? I had owned MFC a couple of years ago for a number of years where the money was essentially dead money the entire time. I was lucky enough to get out with a small profit back then and now I am looking to re-enter this space.

In the past few years with the lower bond yields I think this played a huge part in the performance of these companies but now with the rapid rise in yields will these have a breakout going forward? Is SLF still your favorite? As always thanks, your opinion is always appreciated

Q: Dear Peter et al:

To my question on June 29th, you had suggested these three as your safe picks amongst US banks. (You also included C,BAC,WFC. But I have chosen to highlight the top three.

From tomorrow the earnings reports will start trickling in, starting with JPM.

Should one wait or start taking positions from today! Going forward, what is your prediction for these three banks?

Many thanks.
Mano.

Q: I know how positive you are on this stock, many guests on BNN and elsewhere also favour it, and I have done well on it (thanks to you). I also know a great company and a great share price can stay out of sync for awhile. Do you think the share price is languishing solely because of the Fed's legislative changes, and if so, how many "show me" good quarters is it likely to take to approach the old highs? Thanks for your thoughts.
