Q: I hold POW in my $CDN account. Long term performance has been lacklustre.
A recent report informs me that over 80% of POW's net asset value is in GWO and IGM. Seems POW's European holdings are the main cause of performance issues. Considering selling POW and putting proceeds directly into GWO and IGM. Your opinion and forward-looking comments on this idea please.

Cheers,
IslandJohn

Q: Hello:

Canadian banks have had a great run. Valuations have markedly changed more than I would have predicted. At what valuation might you trim into this strength? What headwinds could be foreseen?

Many thanks.

Q: From the answers I have gleaned over those 3 insurers you seem to be favoring SLF over the other two, from a volatility & performance perspective (over 1 and 5 years) it would appear that SLF is worse. Can you give your reasons why as you obviously see SLF of better quality fundamentally going forward.

Q: Hello,
I wish to reduce my number of holdings in my financial sector.  Feeling what I have has some overlapping.  Which 2 or more of my lists would you recommend to trim?  I do plan to hold the rest for growth and stability for more than 5 years.
Many thanks,
Roger
