Q: In a rising interest rate environment - I always understood that insurance companies would do well since their liabilities would be discounted at a higher rate. However - I see that SLF is down 16% this year and MFC is down over 8%. Huh???

Q: Greetings 5i,

Can you rank in a list the top5 Canadian Banks, top 3 Life Companies, and 2 Telcos in order of preferance for purchasing today for longer term hold.

Can you briefly outline your reasons as to why you ranked the Lifecos as you did in comparison to the others on the list.

Cheers!

Q: I was wondering what the difference is between these two companies. I own a small amount of SLF and am thinking of buying more or adding MFC.
I value your opinion.

Thank you.
