Q: I am currently holding BN, GSY, JPM, and RY in the financials sector and am considering selling GSY and buying BRK.B. I've held GSY for a number of years so have had a nice gain but wonder if BRK.B wouldn't be a more consistent mover?
Thank you

Q: For my 6yr old daughter's RESP I hold 50% in XBAL and ~12.5% in the 4 securities listed. When I make my next contribution I am looking to add another position.

Given a 10 year timeframe before the funds are needed what are some names that you would consider to complement the existing holdings?

Q: Royal seems to continuously march forward. Does the valuation seem a little stretched at this point? I'm seeing a P/E of 14.55. I think I have read that the banks typically trade at a 8.5 to 12 PE.

If the Canadian consumer is likely to to be challenged over the next 24 months and US banks (like JP Morgan) trade at 12.2 PE there seems to be a disconnect. I'm not sure what their revenue is in Canada Vs US.

Thoughts?

Q: I hold the above positions in approx equal weights in a non-registered account from which I need to raise some cash for a home project. If you were to sell entire positions, in what order would you proceed, first to be sold through to tenth (ie which positions do you see as having the most potential yet to be realized and would be later in your sell order)? Alternatively, are there some positions you would sell outright while trimming as needed from others, and if so, which ones would be sells - again in what order - and which would be trims? Many thanks.
