RY+34.08%.BNS has for some reason lagged behind and lately since I enlarged my position in this stock it has been on a toboggan.
Even today the others are in green BNS red would you hold or should I cut my losses and move on ?

Q: Peter and Co, thanks for the exceptional service.
My question is off topic in some ways but it may have implications for one of Peter's favourite stocks, BNS.
Reuters has reported that in Germany, the UK and the USA there are ongoing investigations into the suspected manipulation of the benchmark pricing of gold and silver. This investigation comes on the heels of the LIBOR price-fixing scandal. The Bank of Nova Scotia-ScotiaMocatta is one of the five banks that are involved in the twice-a-day price fixing for gold.
If there is found to be manipulation in the gold price-fixing, how significant would this be for BNS if ScotiMocotta is implicated?
Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team, could you help with the following question:I recently liquidated TD Canada Trust (CDN Commons) as it appreciated significantly. It was time to cash in. Question is, what in your opinion is the next Canadian financial institution to own for the long term, getting dividends while waiting for capital appreciation. I'm thinking Scotiabank or even a smaller FI like CDN Western Bank but appreciate your opinion. Thx

Q: I currently hold only 6 companies in my TFSA. T.TO, TOG.TO, RFC.V, CSU.TO, STN.TO and BEP-UN.TO. I want to sell off a portion of my gains from this year and also add a bit more capital to add two or three more stocks to this portfolio. My goal is to eventually have 10 good stocks to manage in this portfolio. Do you have any suggestions of stocks to add that would both add diversity and growth potential?

Thanks
