Q: Hi, looking at the financial sector. I have TD and IFC and looking to add another. The options I am looking at is another Canadian bank that benefits from US exposure (RY), a US bank (JPM) or ETF of banks (ZBK), or diversifying away from North America to a major UK (LYG) or European (ING) bank. My objective is downside safety paired with dividend income and some growth. I realize global stocks aren't your focus, but would appreciate any thoughts you might have on relative merits of these stocks.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this is not a fair question but I would appreciate your opinion which is always helpful. I have held this stock for several years and am even. I will spare you of all the metrics...Please.. just your over view will suffice. Is this large bank a legitimate long term contrarian hold, a value trap or just "dead-money"? HA! HA! Thanks as usual!

Q: Do you have an opinion today on Lloyds Banking Group?
