Q: I am looking to increase my holdings in financials. My only holding is Gluskin Sheff bought this year. I have looked at Fiera and Element and Genworth MIC. I am leaning towards Fiera, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the similarities or lack thereof.
I also find the description of "financial services" rather vague. It would be informative to have a little more definition of what they are doing. Our local loan shark says he is in financial services. Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi,
Just wondering about FTN - Financial 15 Split Corp. Is this too good to be true? It has a very high yield and holds a basket of some very solid names. How would you rank it in your scoring?

Q: Hi own ZEB in my RSP and am thinking of increasing bank exposure by purchasing something for a TFSA (no banks yet in TFSA). Would you recommend more ZEB or instead going with BNS? Am thinking of about $5000.00 exposure. Thanks, Bill

Q: I know I'm giving up a little yield but would you endorse a switch from HR.UN to Fiera Capital? I just don't see much upside in HR unless their Q3 numbers surprise.

Q: What are your thoughts about WETF on Nasdaq at current price? I've always held to the idea that it's better to own mutual fund companies that it is to own mutual funds themselves. With the popularity of ETFs now, Wisdom Tree seems like a decent choice despite paying no dividend. Thanks!

Q: I am not certain that you received my email: I noticed that at least two other members' questions had gone astray last week, and am wondering if the same happened here.

My request was, roughly, as follows:

1. Would you be able to provide a preferred comparison of AIG and MET: wondering if either one of these is a good play for insurance exposure, or would you recommend a Canadian
life-co over either one of those?

2. XEG: I have been simply "breaking even" on this one for the better part of 18 months and would like to switch to something with at least "some" growth in the energy sector. I was thinking of walking away from the ETF and switching to CNQ perhaps. What would be your opinion?

Thanks very much!

Q: Hi Peter,

You like EFN for certain reasons but it is stuck in a range for quite some time now. Their current PE ratio is way high compared to the others. They are reporting on the 13th. Do you think they can significantly improve upon their earnings this time. How would you rank EFN from among the following list: HCG, SUM, RFC, EH, CFN, EFN and CXS.
