Q: Hello 5i, I have to many energy company's and would like to diversify and am looking at Fiera or Gluskin Shelf as I am closing in on retirement I would like
to be conservative could you compare these 2 companies and in your opinion which one would be better and if you have a better company to recommend could you include this name. Thanks
Q: Can you provide your insite into this deal? Should I sell my shares OR are there more possibilities in your opinion. I realize that it is US but your opinion is appreciated! Thanks, James
Q: My allocation to US financials is higher than I had planned at approximately 26 to 28%. I do not HAVE to sell, not having strong ideas where to redeploy. However, subject to your input, I thought it might be prudent to sell or trim. (Selling or trimming would also provide cash reserve in case markets faint-- although 'gathering' dry powder is often counter productive). I ask your input, with reasons, on which of the following financials you would trim or let go entirely:
- WFC ; KIE (US insurance ETF) ; Lloyds Bank London (the ADR listed as LYG)
- KKR; BX (Blackstone)
I read various reports and did research. I didn’t find THAT much that I didn't like in the above. I am hoping you can tell me which ones are likely to show least total return, and why. I’d be grateful for your suggestions supported by your reasoning and any other thoughts you have. Many thanks
Q: David Baskin's negative comments of GS -
participation fee + fee, decline of wealthy clients, lawsuit by founders of GS, etc.
Brian, please explain. Thank you
Did management make any comments, or discuss any of the back ground issues surrounding the company ( lawsuit, privatization) during the quarterly results? If so, what was your take?
Q: Hi - is it time to get out of the Canadian / American banks in general I have some good profits in Bank Of America + Citi Bank+ BNS . The American banks seem to be reacting negatively to the perceived upcoming tax reforms - They have mostly been down 5 days in a row. Thinking should get to the sidelines as far as the banks are concerned.
