Q: I know that 5i has not generally recommended these split corp funds but I would like your take in this scenario. We know they bottom when asset value drops below an acceptable number and this has occurred. I recall years ago the same thing happened and yields disappeared and values plummeted. When the market bounced back however each roughly doubled and paid lucrative dividends until of course the next major downturn. My question given that we all expect new highs some day, is whether these would not be nice tuck ins today that will eventually appreciate if not double and begin paying great dividends?

Q: Hey team,

I seem to recall this theme being addressed as it pertains to Shopify but after listening to the PayPal CEO on Mad Money last night I Have to wonder if LSPD would not be a nice add for Paypal? It sounds like they really want to get more directly involved with retail/restaurants and POS to expand how people use their service. Could you foresee this happening and would you consider PYPL a buy today? Their CEO came across well.

Q: Although both stocks are in the financial area but certainly quite different.
Both are moving quite significantly with renewed interest in the sector. Would either one or both be suitable buys, even with their current increase?
Thank you, Team!

Q: Hi-
Is the number of close to 90% payout ratio for BNS correct? Do loan loss provisions factor into that payout ratio? I would assume yes. If so, I would consider 90 percent not particularly alarming considering the current economic environment. This would cover delinquencies after the 6 month mark, correct?

Q: BNS is up AFTER they posted loss, increased reserve provisions etc., BUT it seems ALL the banks are up today even though news about their future is still pending!
Should we "read" that "birds of a feather" phenomenon is operating here and the market has decided to ignore the pending results of other bans and is into a full blown buy mode!
Do you think it is risky or reasonable response to the current situation and one can buy bank stocks now? I know your favorites are RY,BNS,TD.
