Q: Hello, My wife and I have GIC's at Oaken Capital and Oaken Financial (not the exact names but the two banking divisions of Home Capital). We have slightly less than 100K in each of the two laddered GICs. Thus, we assume they are insured. Would Home Capital's fate have an impact on Oaken? Should we be worried? Guess there is not much we could do about it now anyway. Hope we don't have to make an insurance claim. Your thoughts?

Q: I don't own HCG, so I think I'm objective. Don't you think this is a big black eye for the Canadian market? Why doesn't the regulator step up and make clear that the violations committed by management does not mean the company is not viable? Or do they know this, after what, a year and a half of investigating? Instead it allows a publicity-seeking chicken farmer to spread innuendo and essentially create a run on the bank? Just a complete screw up by all involved, IMO.

Thanks,

Alex
