Q: I've read your previous answers to questions on this bank.

However, even if the stock has "priced in" the bad news doesn't this reflect very badly on management, governance, compliance etc of this institiution.

I would far sooner put money in other banks like RY. To date TD is by far the worst performing of the big banks (-15%) and I daresay this might be just the beginning of this mess.

Why not cut bate, sell it as it is a spoiled equity for the forseeable future and buy a well managed FI?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I realize that there are economic arguments and opinions on both sides of the carbon tax issue specifically and climate change in general. My question is framed, I hope, in a non-political way.

I had heard Pierre Pollievre comment on using technology to combat climate change. A Google search resulted in:

https://www.biv.com/news/resources-agriculture/poilievres-energy-plan-carrots-not-sticks-8270266

In the article, Pollievre is quoted as saying: “I’ll have specific measures to do that when the time is right,” he said. “But what we say, very clearly, is that we need technology rather than taxes in order to fight climate change, and that includes carbon capture, nuclear or hydro dams.”

I realize that the next election won’t probably occur until next year, but should Pollievre become PM at that time, some stocks may experience tailwinds, while others may have headwinds.

Could 5i look into their “crystal ball” to list some Canadian stocks that might be positively impacted by a new policy, as well as a possible reverse impact on some other stocks.

As always, thanks in advance for your insight.

Q: Hi there,

I’m a longtime holder of both these names.

I understand AQN is a very large shareholder of AY. I read today that a sale of AY is maybe imminent. AY has been moving up last few days.

Please update this, I’d like to know details, the likely sale price/share range, and the effect on share prices of both company.

Thank you!

Q: If I make 5% on a yield stock and I make 10% on a growth stock per year - would I not be better off all things being equal to just invest in the capital gains stock and trim it by say 10%?

I look forward to your thoughts on both choices and their pluses and minuses.

Thank you

Q: Hi, How is the Recent Earnings History of the company ? Does it usually beat estimates? Stock price has shot up, over past 6 months. Is this because of Co. producing stellar results and projecting high growth in the sub-prime sector, or the Co. received recognition/got discovered by retail investors/portfolio Managers, after flying under the radar for so long. Besides 48% Insider Ownership, are there any institutional holders ?

What are street estimates and your expectations, when Co reports next week ?

We have taken a 1% starter position and keenly watching, how Co/Stock performs, next week.

Thank You
