Q: Hello. I continue to see positive comments from 5i about growth potential for GSY. I would like to add it my financial sector but that would require selling one of my current financial stocks in order to maintain the assigned weight. Of the stocks listed can you put in order the stocks you might sell to a\quire GSY. Alternatively, does it make sense to keep the current stocks, which are all doing well and for the most part paying dividends and just add GSY, changing the weightng of the portfolio?

Q: Hello Team,

I have held BLK and MCO for about 1 1/2 years and my total returns as of now, are 83% and 77%, respectively. I have a feeling that the easy money has already been made on these 2 stocks and therefore should put my money on something else.
May I please have your comments on these companies going forward and your thoughts on what I plan on doing, would be appreciated.
Cheers,
H

Q: hi there - just a follow question on your recent answer to the question on CM and the note you included on uninsured mortgages. Correct me if i am wrong, but uninsured mortgages are those where the borrower puts down more than 20% of the value of the home and therefore does not require insurance. How is this more risky than insured mortgages where the lender is putting less than 20% down. This seems a bit backward in terms of interpretation. For example, i have an uninsured mortgage and own 95% of the value of the home. How is this more risk to the bank?

Q: if the reinsurance business is successful will the future share price of BAMR be higher than BAM.A? will the dividend of BAMR.always be the same as BAM.A? since the shares of BAMR are exchangeable 1 for1 for shares of BAM.A is this then a floor price for BAMR? I am still confused by the answers you have provided and request your patience and further clarification.as I want to invest in the reinsurance industry not BAM.A which I already hold thanks Richard

What is your outlook for these Canadian banks?
At this time, would you prefer U.S. or Canadian banks.
Would you prefer another financial entity over both?

Q: I bought all 3 of these banks a couple of years ago: Royal Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia and TD. At that time all 3 of purchase prices were much lower than today's stock prices. I would like to add to my holdings of each. Would you wait until the prices come down a little, or is it more probable at this point that prices will continue to go up? Thank you.

Q: Hi Guys - looking at adding to my financials position. I currently hold ~2.5% in each of TD and BNS. With the forecast estimates of improved earnings, increased dividends/buybacks, etc... which of the "Big 5+EQB+LB" would you find the most attractive, both in terms of capital growth and dividend increases (i.e., total growth). Thank you!
