Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: This company has come up on a couple of screeners that I have been running and I was wondering if you have any familiarity with it. I was surprised to see an $800 million dollar market cap. It strikes me as a possible candidate for a buyout from a company looking to expand their operations into the regions where SFC operates. In the meantime you would be able to collect a decent dividend. If you could weigh in regarding dividend safety I would appreciate it,
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
Current holder of LB...They just reported earnings today and I see stock price is up.
How did their results stack up compared to other banks and does this improve your opinion of them?
What does there future look like moving forward? That is, would you expect them to continue to move more or less in lock step with the sector?

Finally...Would you continue to hold or sell?

Thx
Jim

Q: I am currently underweight in bank stocks... about 8 percent of my equity portfolio. I'd like to increase them... to what % do you recommend? I currently own RY, TD and SLF. Would you just add to these to bring them up to the new weighting or would you add other banks and if so what?

Q: All the big banks have had very encouraging financial results. Is now a good time to add in preparation for big dividend increases once the regulatory hold comes off.

Thanks.

Q: I hold TD and BNS, and want to add more of the bank with the best current value. Can you please tell me which of the 2 banks represents the better value? Would appreciate knowing what metrics you use to determine bank stock value. EV values in the minus range make it confusing.
Thanks!

Q: VB on a bit of a tear the last few months. I’m at 1/2 position and can’t decide whether to hold for overall financial sector diversification (also hold BNS, TD, SUnlife, MFC) or sell and add to one or all four of these large caps. Given VB’s valuation has now caught up to the sector, my thinking is it only now moves with the sector on go forward basis, so why not play that game with a safer large cap financial name? Does this make sense?
