Q: Given that they had been put into the penalty box because of past transgressions with account openings, I had a thesis that WFC would benefit significantly from the Trump administration plan to deregulate. Unfortunately, my timing was off, the shares had already increased and dropped after I invested. At this point I wonder if I should abandon my thesis and move to another financial holding. In your view, would GS be a better investment? And why? Alternatively, although Regional banks were hit hard in the past, FITB seems to be favourably viewed; would that be better than WFC or GS? And if so, why? This is in a TFSA and looking for growth, not income. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Greetings. Are there any attractive US dividend-paying stocks (3.5%+) that currently appear on your radar? I'm looking for an alternative to US$ GICS or fixed income. Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on FITB quarter. Do you like this stock for income and growth for a 3 year hold? Is it a possible takeover candidate for the bigger banks?
Thanks
