Q: Hello
I have observed that insurance rates are growing up by a step above general inflation. Which public companies in Canada are the most involved with property, and casualty insurance, and where this is their main business. I think there are a couple years of healthy returns where all premiums go up in unison. What is your best picksÉ
Thank you

Q: I have POW in my TFSA and though it lacks any growth the dividend yield is ok. Wondering if I should think about a switch to IFC to get a bit more growth, though that will reduce the dividend.

(I am recently retired; no DB plan but hopefully more than sufficient assets to see me through to a ripe old age.)

Q: Hi, it appears self driving cars are going to be on the streets much sooner than anyone thought a short while ago. Meanwhile technological improvements have the potential to greatly reduce the frequency of accidents and eventually may eliminate them altogether, perhaps reducing the need for insurance or significantly reducing premiums or coverages? What impact might this have on major auto insurer like IFC? Thanks.
