Investment Q&A

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

Q: Two part question:
1. Do the large US banks have more room to run or is the expected rate increase pretty much baked in?
2. To buy BAC and C I have to move $Cdn cash to my US$ accnt. Currency conversion can impact outcome. At 75c the $Cdn is up a bit. Should I buy now before the likely US interest rate increase? Or(2A) wait for a possible softening in the market around year end/ new year? Thanks for answering - but more importantly for your integrity, which was on display recently in your answer to the Forge First question.

Q: Hi Team, A number of analysts seem to think that the U.S. financial sector(deregulation) and infrastructure(putting people back to work) are sectors to consider when investing in the U.S. Do you agree with this and if so what would be your top 2/3 stock picks in each sector? If not, what sectors and stock picks would the team suggest.

Q: Dear Team: I want to buy 1 call option contract for BAC for January 2015 at $15.00 in my TFSA.
Today that would cost about 1.78. I know you only want to do Cdn stocks, so if you do not
want to give an opinion on doing this for BAC do you have a better suggestion which would be
Cdn? I bot your portfolio, and my jaw drops as I watch many of those stocks!! (like CSU or MG or Valeant) Thanks so much for your support. Jean

Q: Hello 5i Team,
What are your comments on the announcement that the US Government has launched a law suit against BAC. I'm in this one for a long term hold so not too concerned about volatility as I think the price will increase in the future.

Also I should ask if you think BAC is a good long term play in the US financials or o you think others will fair better? Perhaps a US financial ETF with a small grouping?

Thanks again for all your comments, replies and work.
Paul
