Q: Thoughts on Mastercard? I've had a "medium"-size position for several years and treated it more as a "buy-and-forget" stock. I'm thinking the recent 10% cap proposed in the US is likely just noise, but made me look at Mastercard again.
Do you think this is a good time to add to a long-term position in Mastercard or better to wait for a larger potential pullback?

Q: What are your thoughts on Visa and JP Morgan - are these a buy on weakness due to rate cap announcement ( selling overdone?) or should positions be paired back?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hi Peter & Team,
My observations are that, at the present, owning BNS is much better than being a client of BNS.
I've noticed, for example, that the customer service at Scotia iTrade, which incidentally has among the highest commission rates in the online broker category, has recently deteriorated to the point where they don't acknowledge that 'they'll get back to (me) within several days' or a similar phrase and response used by most other organizations. Indeed, with some issues I raised with them via a secure message and/or the 'service @' email, they don't respond at all.
They recently let go 3000 employees.

In my view, going forward, their client base will drop over time unless their customer service improves, making BNS less of a viable investment.

Q: I'm thinking to rotate some profits in BNS, MFC, POW & TD into GSY for a long term value/income and BANK or HMAX to add some extra income.
What do you think of the move and how would you rank BNS, MFC, POW & TD, are all worth keeping a position in?
Of BANK/ HMAX which would you prefer or is there a better name for a banking & insurance extra yield ETF.

Q: A question regarding portfolio construction.
Currently, my RSP portfolio includes 25% CAD financials, including (in roughly equal amounts) BAM, BNS, CIBC, GSY, POW, and SLF.
The balance of my portfolio is pretty well diversified and includes both CAD and US equities and ETFs, with no one sector accounting for more than 15% of the total and no one holding being worth more than 5%.
My question ... would you consider my financial sector concentration too high (even though it consists of a variety of types of companies) and, if so, in what order would you reduce holdings?
What general guidelines can you recommend?
Thanks for the help. Rick

Q: Hi, looking at the 5 and 10 year charts as well as the current price targets it looks like TD is overvalued. Despite being a solid company should I stick with it and it's solid dividend or consider moving to another stock. Please recommend some from your dividend or balanced portfolios? Thanks.
Q: Citigroup or JP Morgan? C has the higher yield and the better six and twelve month performance so I am leaning that way. Valuations are similar. Your views?
