Q: Here is a general question. If anyone knew yesterday that Royal was going to report a 2 billion profit and clean beat all over, would they not have backed up the truck before today, in anticipation of a short term bounce? Instead, it is down a quarter. What does this say about the rationality of the markets. Is it possible there is more luck involved than is acknowledged and is a lot of investing similar to the lottery, notwithstanding common sense and a long term horizon. Thanks

Q: Good morning. Could you please provide your updated thoughts on Counsel CXS? I appreciate that the stock gained substantially in 2013, but it's down about 30% from its $3.00 high last October. I'm happy to continue to hold it if you think it might recover. Otherwise, take my loss and move on. Thanks.

Q: I have three “Financials” (TD) TD Bank , (BNS) Bank of Nova Scotia and (HCG) Home Capital. Would it make sense to increase diversification buy replacing one of the banks with SLF (Sun Life Financial)?. If yes, which bank to keep? What is an appropriate waiting for the “financial” component of a portfolio? Thank you.
Q: Can you give your comments on EFN results please. Thanks
Q: Hello Peter and team,
My portfolio's Financials sector (9% weight) comprises BNS, EFN, TD and ZUB; I was thinking of adding HCG (another mortgage lender?) or DH or PWF.
Please advise

Q: Hi, AHF with this news about the lawsuite would you still buy or wait?
Q: Hi Peter;
Which of the canadian banks has the highest basel 3 capital levels currently. Could we assume that the bank with the highest current capital level will be able to offer higher dividend growth going forward versus the banks that must still raise further capital to comply?
Many thanks for your insight.

Q: Could you please tell me why Ahf,aston hill is dropping so much.
There must be some kind of reason for a drop of 20% in a couple of days.
Yesterday there was an unusual high volume as well.

Q: What are your thoughts regarding Equity Financial's (EQI's) news release today? The news that mortgage portfolio growth will be "nominal"/flat in 2014 is quite negative, is it not? Is it your view that the negative impact of this news will be offset by Smoothwater buying up the shares?

Q: I recently bought shares in pwf and would like your opinion on this company-thankyou
Q: Good morning, Peter. Just renewed for 2 years at advantageous price. Wish all decisions were this easy. Power Fin has finally reached positive traction for me after several years under water receiving dividends only. Given your liking for SLF, would you swap PWF for that, stay as is or move proceeds to a bank or telecom? Portfolio is reasonably well-balanced.
Thank you and kind regards,
Geoff
