Q: Just a comment.This company did a bought offering and was oversubscribed at $16.50 as recommended by the brokers. Why the big drop in less than 3 months?? I think I am getting an education as how the brokers do their business. Someone is making money shorting this stock and selling of the offering to suckers like me. I can understand 5i not recommending this anymore

Q: Hi, on Aug 17 you stated the following about the CAD banks:
"If you can find a better sector at 10X earnings with good dividend growth, low volatility then a switch makes sense. There just are not many sectors/stocks with those qualities."

For an income portfolio, can you advise of some other stocks in other sectors that currently have the qualities of the CAD banks as stated?

Q: If interest rates rise eventually, do you see a risk of a dividend cut? What is their payout ratio? Would you prefer MKP or one of their peers. Do you believe the sector has bottomed out? Does the high dividend signal troubles ahead?

Thanks for your service?

Q: This US listed Dutch insurance company released earnings Thursday and to my inexperienced eye they seemed OK. The market thought otherwise. I can't find an obvious reason for the 20% sell off in the stock price and you would think the dividend increase would help not hurt. What if anything am I missing?

Q: 9 days ago Power Corporation declared EPS of 0.90, 18% above the consensus. Since then it's in a strong downtrend. These days it's the stocks that miss earnings that get punished. It's now below the 50 day MA. Over the last 15 days, on down days, the volume was average so it's not weak volume. The stock is cheap and pays a dividend of 4.1%. Out of all my holdings, this one makes the least sense. Can you dig into the earnings to help me find what BayStreet didn't like? It must be more than the weak market. If there's nothing, can you share anything in the technicals I may have missed? Thanks!

Q: I would like to get back into Canadian banks. I still own a small position in TD and BNS but my largest positions are in US banks. TD is often touted as more American than Canadian. In that sense TD seems like a very poor performer when looking at it on the NYSE. When comparing it to Wells Fargo for example TD is down 25% on the year while WFC is up 14%. This must spook american investors and its not looking as like a good choice when selecting banks. Should we just stay with US banks and let TD/BNS find a bottom?

Q: Hi,
I currently own V, but I am considering a switch to AXP.
The primary motivation is valuation. The larger yield is also attractive.
Do you have an opinion on Visa vs American Express?
Thank you.
