Q: I purchased BMO & CM when the yields were well over 5.5%. I also own & would like to continue to own BAC & MFC. Financials make up 25% of my portfolio now. I would like to sell CM & BMO. Are there any higher yielding dividend stocks in other sectors out there yielding over 5% that may be "mispriced" similar to how CM was back in 2009/2010?
Thank you
Thank you

Q: What is your view of the Allied World purchase? Watsa describes it as "transformative" and in terms of size it does certainly seem significant. FFH share price is just off 52-week lows. Would you suggest initiating a position for a long-term hold?

Q: i own a half position in CIX (down 17%) and a full position in IGM (up 6%). Both pay a decent dividend. I am concerned with the long term viability of these two stocks. I like the income, but, income could be in question if mutual funds lose their luster. IGM and CIX have both recently risen in price. Would you, sell both, and move to a different financial/insurance type stock, sell CIX and move proceeds to IGM or vice versa?
Q: I am considering a position in CM, which has increased considerably in the last couple of months. Is this a reasonable time to get in, or should I wait for a pull back?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: When reviewing the 3 year SLF chart, what is it that has happened to SLF the past 2 years, starting around Dec 22 and ending Jan 12...substantial declines? Is it related to quarterly reporting?
If it is not just a coincidence, do you think it will occur again this year?
Thanks...Steve

Q: I assume hedging is a two way street - you get protection back to Can$ if the US $ falls but lose the gain associated with a US$ rise, and there is a cost to provide this?? So if the US$ looks strong going forward relative to the Looney is this the best strategy and are there other US banking sector ETF choices. What do you think?
Q: FFH doesn't seem to participate in a rising market and it also is not going up in a down market, would you consider ffh still a decent holding or would you recommend a better name or names in a correction.
thanks, johann.
thanks, johann.
Q: So we've had the rate hike everyone knew we would have. The language was a tad more aggressive than expected and the market sold off. My confusion is why did Sun Life (and other insurance companies) and BNS (and most other banks) sell off too? Isn't this even better news for them?
Q: Recently, insider Bill Holland sold 500K shares. Is that a lot, and of any real concern? Is it a signal of more headwinds coming to their industry with the new CRM2 rules; or could it just be part of his own personal tax-loss selling at year-end? thanks for your opinion.
