Q: I have a modest position in this company in my margin acct, what are your thoughts as to their future prospects..I purchased it at lower levels a little over a year ago so am doing ok as far as the dividend goes.
If I was to sell ( 2017 ) I would be looking to reinvest in a Canadian stock.

Q: I am interested in increasing my exposure to the US through ETF's. I currently hold some IWO and VIG. I am wondering if I should just add to those or are there 1-2 others that would round out my exposure. I am wondering about industrials and banks for example. Thanks

Q: I am considering adding to my positions in SLF and TD. Given murmers that Poloz is considering a cut in interest rates on Dec 7, I'm wondering if it's wise to wait until a decision is announced.
Further, could you comment on the implications for these 2 companies in an environment where we see Canadian rates staying the same or going lower while American rates are trending upward.
Thanks for the great service!

Q: I have a number of CBL shares and have received a must respond letter from my online brokerage. The offer is for CBL shares at $16.50 but the current price is above $18. The literature is slightly confusing in that it implies unless I tender the shares I might miss this opportunity and generally the company may become private. The tone is my shares would then be worthless. Can you comment? I really have no intention of surrendering my shares for below what the stock trades at currently. Thanks so much. Dave T.

Q: Hello 5i,

I'd like to add some financial exposure to my holdings on the assumption of longer term rising interest rates and new political realities in America. Which of the three noted companies would be your preference for both growth and income.

Thanks

I know JPM is way bigger so less risky in theory.Looking at Fwd P/E OZRK looks more expensive but it looks much more consistent over the last 10 years and has better ROE and cash flow.Please give me you r analysis.Thanks and I'm learning a lot from your service!

Q: FFH and ECI have set new lows. Their charts are ghastly and their RSI numbers are in the oversold category, especially FFH. I am now at the point where I am debating adding more funds to these stocks (buy low, right?) or selling them and moving on. Currently they are a small part of my portfolio: FFH 1.2% and ECI 1%. I can see that ECI has fallen with income stocks, but I would appreciate your views on the collapse of FFH stock.
