Q: I read a more detailed US legal article on the TD money laundering scandal in NY/NJ and was quite disturbed. It has been a core holding of mine for a full decade. Thinking of taking it down from a full to a half position while the DOJ probe and further sanctions play out. Would you caution against this at this time (with damage already done to stock) or do you think its a prudent move?

Q: I never thought I would be contemplating whether or not to continue to hold these “sleep at night stocks” but here we are. I have no doubt they will recover but in what timeframe? I am particularly concerned about TD. I believe regulators are going to set an example. I am 75 years old and time is at a premium. Please give me some guidance.

Q: With regard to the money laundering attibuted to TD in their US branches. The media reports referenced "duffel bags" of cash presented to tellers for deposit.
Is there not a rule or regulation that any cash transactions over $10,000 as being required to be investigated. or is that in Canada only Also would not the other tellers/manger not see this happening? Sounds crazy.

Q: With the recent market drop in this stock on the news of the US fine and the possibility of future fines (several if I remember their news announcement correctly) and with the time frame that it seems to make these decisions do you still have faith in this stock going forward or is there still more downside than upside this stock going forward.

Q: The US Regulator,talk is fine would be in the area of 1.5 billion to 2 billion.Wow will we the customers end up paying there bill for bad magement decisions. Probably I will be looking at the other banks to see what fee's are for transfer of accounts. I have been a customer at TD for a very long time,would they hold money back on transfers. I have 5 different account with TD and all are positive money

Q: I've read your previous answers to questions on this bank.

However, even if the stock has "priced in" the bad news doesn't this reflect very badly on management, governance, compliance etc of this institiution.

I would far sooner put money in other banks like RY. To date TD is by far the worst performing of the big banks (-15%) and I daresay this might be just the beginning of this mess.

Why not cut bate, sell it as it is a spoiled equity for the forseeable future and buy a well managed FI?

Q: Hi 5i,

I am slowly converting my TSFA to income. A model holding for me is BNS-T (Bank of Nova Scotia). A +6% dividend and good growth potential. Thank you 5i for the recommendation. Can you. recommend, "as of the prices today" 3-4 more companies that you would add. I do have access to your income portfolio of course, but I am seeking good entry positions for your current "fav's". Thank you.

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

How significant is the ESG backlash in many US states to Canadian banks that have large US operations?

A recent article in the Globe & Mail “Canadian banks caught in ESG backlash from U.S. state officials” outlines this unfortunate (in my opinion) trend.

The article refers to TD in particular, but lists large US banks that have also been impacted by this anti-ESG stance.

Thanks for your insight.
