Q: Given that they had been put into the penalty box because of past transgressions with account openings, I had a thesis that WFC would benefit significantly from the Trump administration plan to deregulate. Unfortunately, my timing was off, the shares had already increased and dropped after I invested. At this point I wonder if I should abandon my thesis and move to another financial holding. In your view, would GS be a better investment? And why? Alternatively, although Regional banks were hit hard in the past, FITB seems to be favourably viewed; would that be better than WFC or GS? And if so, why? This is in a TFSA and looking for growth, not income. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SAN has been on a positive run this year hitting a new high. I know you do not follow European Banks. However any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Apparently they are selling their Polish Bank. So do you think all the good news has been baked in? Do you think it has any more up side or will it plateau soon and maybe retreat? Thanks for your insights!

Q: Hi Folks,
For my RRSP account I am looking at adding one of MFC, SLF or GWO. May I have your opinion as to which one you feel would be best taking the dividend and growth in consideration.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have read that some analysts are predicting a 90% chance of an economic slow down or some type of recession later this year. If this were to occur how do you think it would effect large European banks or insurance companies in general? Thanks for your insights...they always help!

Q: As a longtime holder of BNS representing 8% of my cash account (4 % total accounts ) with banks representing 30 % of total portfolios, I am getting impatient waiting for the “ new “ President to make his mark. With TFII suffering from tariff malaise and WSP dropping because of a sale of shares by the Caisse , I see this as an opportunity to get into these 2 growthier stocks. I can live with the resulting drop in dividend income. I would have a loss on BNS.

Would you make the trade or hold on to BNS ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi,
Company reported Q1-2025 results last week. As per news, it beat earnings on higher revenue and AUM, raised Dividend. GAAP EPS was down. There was some expenses for technological upgrade. The stock was weak. Is this kind of expenses is unnecessary or a mistake or done due to any problem or liabilities? Because some analyst has a sell rating for the stock? I am holding this stock for long time representing my holding in US financial sector. Has there any major changes in the company's working so that I need to replace this holding? Appreciate you insight on this.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
What is you insight on PRL-T? Is it a good and better risk and reward pick after it fall from the highs of C$42? Is there major problem with its business? Will it recover or its better to go with other lenders such as Banks? What basically I mean was that its business prospects are same? The current pull back in price is not because a group of investor entered in the stock to take it to highs. They got what they wanted and left.
Thanks

Q: Good Morning all,

Could you please provide your assessment of Fiserv’s stock movement today (down 15% at one point) relative to their earnings report. It does not appear to me there are any significant issues; there are a couple metrics one could question however I’m not seeing anything to justify the decline.

Thanks as always,

Dave
