Q: Hi, Market drop in the morning, Today and complete reversal after President Biden's briefing about Russia invasion of Ukraine was simply Extraordinary. Nasdaq, of course was the huge winner. Banks, on the other hand, were really weak at the open and did not gain much traction, during the day. Could you try to explain the disconnect, please.

RBC results were quite impressive, but it did not help the stock, Today.

CNBC, Bob Pisani commented that US Financials have been under pressure, the whole week.

We added some CM,RY,TD and BNS in the morning, for dividends and additional exposure to financials, to take advantage of market drop and due to expectations of the sector benefitting from rising rates. Do you consider it a wise move?

Thank You

Q: Canadian banks in general……
Is it time to take some profits? Or are they such a core holding that you would hold?
Perhaps only trim to a comfortable %?

Q: MS has been dropping the past few days, likely with the market in general and geopolitical reasons but perhaps also due to news that the SEC and DOJ are investigating the business on block trading. Given this disclosure, would you suggesting moving out of the position (even at this depressed price) into another such as JPM that does not have this similar SEC risk? Or, could this even be an opportunity to build on the MS position?

Q: Hi,
In Dec 2021, BMO announced to acquire Bank of West from BNP Paribas for US$16.3-bil. This is a big amount. Normally companies finance these kind of huge acquisition by issuing debt and equity. Whenever new equity is being issued, stock price of issuing company falls during that time. Do you think BMO will issue new equity? Is there any place where someone can get information these kind of news?
Thanks
