Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you expand your answer to Richard in regards to gold, when you said " you consider gold important as insurance within a portfolio."
I understand the concept, what I want to know is what you are talking about, physical gold, etf's, stocks etc.
If you need this type of insurance what should you hold and why..

Thank you again..

Q: Peter, CXS is going to report this Friday Nov 14th. What is the street estimate? What do you think the catalyst is for this stock to go higher? It's been a disappointment at least for 3 quarters in a row now. Thanks in advance.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

I was surprised to see BNS among the "dogs" in the "Stars and Dogs" column in the Nov. 8 Globe and Mail. In it, John Heinzl wrote, referring to the 1500 job layoff, "If this is how it reacts to the good times, wait until the next recession". As a long-term investor holding only BNS in the big-bank sector, should I be concerned about Mr, Heinzl's assertion? Should I consider diversifying into one or more of the other big banks? If so, which one(s)? Your insight and advice is always highly valued.

Q: I've always been curious why the Canadian banks traditionally trade at low multiples, even when compared to low growth companies such as consumer staples. TD has a higher ROE, higher dividend yield and higher growth rate than PG, yet trades at a forward P/E of 11.2 while PG trades at a forward P/E of 19.9. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Hans

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Genworth Financial just reported Q3 earning, and it's very disappointing. Stock has been down 50% so far today. I would appreciate your opinion on this company. Thanks!

Q: I have a 3.85% postion in XGD right now with a 22% loss so far. My question to you is should I be cost averaging in this ETF or should i cut my losses and take that money and invest in another sector on the way up. From what i understand the recovery in gold could take years rather than months. If switching sectors makes sense what sector and what ETF would you recommend.

Q: What do you think of Ebix?

I did a simple screen of US stocks and came across this one with a low PE (below 10) and a modest dividend (above 2%). Why has it performed so poorly and is it reasonably safe to invest for the medium term?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are your thoughts on FIE (iShares Canadian Financial Monthly Income ETF)?

It looks good on paper - good diversification, good dividends, but on the other hand performance over 5 years pales in comparison to something like BNS.

Is it worth it for the instant diversification in the financial sector, or are you better with 2-4 stocks?

Thanks,

Mike.
