Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Group thanks for your advise on the following - Currently own 15% Canadian + US banks+ Pay Pal / Score . Have done well in the past 2 yrs however the profits are slowly but surely eroding (add the Canadian dollar recent strength and the us banks are getting hit pretty hard) My question is due to market + consumer spending+Real estate concerns should I sell off and lock in the profits or do you see another option Thanks

Q: Why canadian bank stock are down?

Q: Why the Slide in TD RY BNS. Just cant catch a bid here?

Q: My weighting in the financial sector is 12% and I am wondering if it is time to increase it to 15%. I already own BNS,RY and SLF. I was wondering if ECN and FCR would be good choices to add to the mix or if you have any better suggestions.

Q: I've decided to begin building an income portfolio and have chosen the companies listed above. (Mostly from your Income Portfolio). I am retired but my pension income covers my monthly expenses. I'm looking for companies that you believe are strong enough to maintain, and hopefully increase), dividends in the long run. I understand we are in a climate of interest rate increases and income stocks could suffer as a result so I'm wondering if I should wait to begin building this portfolio. My intention is to round out the portfolio by adding companies from your balanced portfolio. My questions are:
1. Can you suggest a strategy that you consider to be wiser as I begin to develop my new portfolio?
2. Do you consider the companies I have chosen to be the best choices for a new portfolio considering all current investment metrics? Could you suggest any I have missed?
Thank-you for your continued support.

Q: 11:56 AM 4/3/2018
I own RY, CM, BNS, and some TD, and they comprise nearly 20% of my income-oriented portfolio. It is often suggested that I should own shares in one or more insurance companies, but I think the big banks are already in the insurance business so I believe I am already am invested in the insurance sector.
Would you think I need to buy some SLF?
Could you please give me an estimate of what proportion is in insurance business in each of the big banks.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Hi. In the Financial sector, I own BNS (5%), TD (5%), GSY(3.2%), ECN(3.3%) and Visa (2.4%). Is the banking sector too high? If I need to sell, which one should go first? Is GSY and ECN very similar in nature? Should I own both? Thanks

Q: Hi, there is an article on Motley Fool today that lists these 3 stocks as forever hold (especially on recent pullbacks) for value, growth and dividend growth. What is your take on this? I have 30+ years and use any drips available. I already own bns as well. Do you know if anything that presents major issues or headwinds for them?

Thanks

Q: Hello: I currently own BMO, CM and BNS. I’m thinking of switching BMO for TD as BMO did not increase its dividend as TD did. Also I believe TD has more US exposure which should show better growth. Your opinion please.
