Q: One source describes RBC and TD banks as having wide-moats; BNS and CM banks it describes as having narrow-moats.

Do you agree?

Is this something that someone who has a concentrated portfolio should especially heed?

All the best!

Q: Good Afternoon,
I have owned Killam for a while. There has been no appreciable growth or dividend increase. What is the likelihood of either happening. Would I be better off selling Killam and purchasing another stock? If so, what stock would you suggest that would offer some growth and a good dividend. There is no tax implications as I hold Killam in my TFSA.
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Q: What do you see in the medium term for TD? With a dividend approaching 5%, does it not invite investors to jump in? What am I not seeing here? If we get into, or deeper into, an unpleasant recession can you see TD share prices dropping significantly from current levels?

You have regularly note that the big banks have not historically reduced their dividends. If TD share prices do drop, the yields will be alarmingly high. It's been decades since I studied economics and I don't seem to be any smarter. Perhaps you can help.

thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

Pretty sure I know your answer based on past questions, but I have so many questions to use from being a long time satified member.

Would you swap MG for DOO? Please provide some comparison metrics for the next 3 to 5 years to justify switch.

Again, using same question above, compare a BNS to TD switch.

Thanks again for your valuable insights over the past several years!

Q: I am an income investor and hold equal weighting in all 5 big banks. I’m looking at the quite larger than normal yield spread between RY and BMO and TD and am thinking of either halving or even fully selling my RY position to add to BMO and TD. Someday when the spreads go back to being much closer, I would likely repurchase RY. Do you see anything wrong with this logic? Would you prefer one of TD or BMO for such a move? Half or full position? I’ve held RY for a long time, thus my little bit of doubt!

1- What is the average PE for the construction industry as it appears that URI misfortune may be linked to the residential slow down. What is the forward PE for URI?

2- It appears that TD is the most shorted of all banks throught the world according to Bloomberg. That's not a small statement. Having said that, would you buy now or wait for a general bank recovery?
