Q: I recently received some money and I want to closely mimic your income portfolio in a taxable account.I was thinking of taking some of the weighting of the financials and buying FTN.I realize there is some added risk but it suits my investment style and I like the US exposure to banks.The dividend is also attractive I must admit.From your past comments you are not really excited about it.Also the bond portion of the portfolio are you still happy with the 7% weightings.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
What are your thoughts on Crawford & Company, CRD.B. Firstly to me, they seem complicated with having two classes of shares where they distribute different dividends to. Anyhow, i await your thoughts.

Q: Hi,
Any comments on Home Capital Group's latest quarter? Looks like EPS beat estimates by a couple of cents, but originations were down slightly due to seasonality and a rather harsh winter. I view the results positively and think it'll make for a strong second quarter. Do you agree?
Thanks again,
Jason

I bought Bank of America for 16.60 in an RRSP account. Do you think they will increase their dividend anytime soon and what do you think of company long term? I was disappointed with their "accounting error"
Thanks
