Q: All of a sudden we are seeing shortfalls in bank earnings and subsequent share price declines. Albeit on a much smaller scale, are we seeing the Financial Sector rollover and/or another oil and gas type of sector rotation?

Or, if one is under invested in this sector would this be a good time to put new or additional dollars to work?

And if so what would your preferred financials be?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Team
I see that MFC has 1.9 B shares outstanding versus SLF's 612 M. I bought MFC before I saw your report on SLF. Given the similarities between the two companies, is the large number of MFC shares anything to be concerned about. I see the charts of both companies are moving along pretty well in sync.

Thank you for your efforts and great advice.

Q: May I have your comments on PWF's latest earnings report? They seem to be doing better with Pargesa or are Pargesa's earning increase all due to one time items? What do you think is better going forward PWF or VIG? I am looking to increase my US exposure but PWF has a better dividend and seems to be generating more growth than before. Part of the attraction with VIG is if the Can $ keeps dropping against the US $.
