Q: Hello Peter,
I know that past returns are not always indicative of future returns, but looking at the returns and dividend increases of the past 15 years of the Canadian Banks and Enbridge, I am assuming that I may not get the same returns but am expecting atleast 7 percent return on the capital if I take a 10 year view. This is on the basis of the past and looking at the viability of the companies and their dividend payouts (Banks and Enbridge). As an example, If I invest 100k across the banks and Enbridge, my dividend would average about 3500K per year (approximate). 10 years from now, I am assuming the stock portfolio would go to 200k and result in a dividend of 7000k per year (3.5 percent of 200k or 7% of the original investment). Does this strategy makes sense and also should my total weight of the banks and Enbridge not exceed 20% ( assuming I am a medium risk investor). I am basically looking to invest a portion of my RRSPs into the banks and Enbridge and leave it for the long haul. If you feel i can increase my weight and add other sectors to the mix that can give me similar results, please advise. Any comments please

Q: Good morning 5i. What's your perspective on Power Corp. It's been dropping steadily since I bought it a few months ago, notwithstanding that all the analyst ratings through my brokerage service rate it a buy or strong buy. Should I hold, or switch to another opportunity? Thanks.
Q: whats your view on their quarter, new divended policy of 0.70 per annum, you always said a stock that start paying a dividend is really a good sign, would like to have view on this stock. thanks!
Q: CAn you please comment on the latest quarterly results? It appears strong but the stock is down.
Q: Why do you like the prospects for Sun Life relative to Great-West Life. GWO appeared to be in better shape to manage the financial crisis of 08/09 and would that not indicate that GWO is a better managed company?
Q: Peter and Team,
It looks like Sunlife absolutely destroyed out there last quarter. They had big beat on earnings and it looks like big growth in net income.
With the 4.5% pop today, its now 6.5% of my portfolio. Should I start trimming this a bit to rebalance other names>?

Q: Hi, looking to add an American insurance company to my portfolio. Any recommendations on a couple of potential candidates that has a reasonable value entry point?
Q: I am 30 years old and have a fairly diversified portfolio. I own a small portion in financials already but I currently do not own any of the major Canadian banks. Do you think it is good timing to get into the Canadian banks considering my long time frame? Also would you look at an ETF such as ZEB or would you suggest picking 1 or 2 banks? I am currently looking into TD and Scotia.
Q: What is your opinion of selling puts underneath the stock - I was thinking of october 27 or 28 puts (the premiums are quite high given the recent volatility) - as I would get either the premium or the stock at a much cheaper price? This assumes, of course, that the company remains solid. If I find out anything that is fundamentally wrong, I would buy back the puts quickly and take the loss, but the loss would be much less than would be the case by owning the stock outright. I am very aware of margin issues and use it in this easy very judiciously.
Q: I have been patiently watching this company go down over the last year more than other financial stocks. I hold this stock in several accounts and think that perhaps I should sell in those short term accounts (resp) and only hold it in my resp which has a longer time frame. Or is it just dead money and I should move to another stock.
Thank you for your insight.

Q: Would appreciate your comments on the recent drop of the stock.
Q: The influential Barron's magazine wrote about this company recently with some specific concerns.
1. This is no longer a growth company. It deserves only a market multiple for a subprime lender which is 1X book value and not 1.5X which means a 35% lower stock price.
2. They have razor thin margin to protect against a possible downturn in the overheated Canadian housing market with salaries not rising.
If these concerns are valid. I have a feeling the bears will pile back in. What is your view? Thank you.
