Q: Hi, Market drop in the morning, Today and complete reversal after President Biden's briefing about Russia invasion of Ukraine was simply Extraordinary. Nasdaq, of course was the huge winner. Banks, on the other hand, were really weak at the open and did not gain much traction, during the day. Could you try to explain the disconnect, please.

RBC results were quite impressive, but it did not help the stock, Today.

CNBC, Bob Pisani commented that US Financials have been under pressure, the whole week.

We added some CM,RY,TD and BNS in the morning, for dividends and additional exposure to financials, to take advantage of market drop and due to expectations of the sector benefitting from rising rates. Do you consider it a wise move?

Thank You

Q: Further to my question from feb 16, 2022
Thank you for trying to help me transform from dividend investor to a bit of growth.
5I mentionned P/E, P/S, ROE ratios.
What are the present ratio values for these 3 companies right now. ( I understand this is a snapshot in time).
A. what is considered a "good" / buy cutoff for these ratios
B. how would you priorize or rank these ratios in terms of importance (from a buying perspective)
C. a rising dividend is sometimes a warning signal of a falling price (catching the knife concept) should I be wary of looking at these ratios like a % dividend; rising dividend not necessarily a good sign OR sometimes a good buy if really / fundamentally a good company (which I believe all 3 to be.)
