Q: CXS continues to drop by a fair bit each day, with no apparent news of any kind to explain why. Is it possible that simply announcing a post-results conference call for investors on Nov 15 is giving investors the jitters? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am looking to diversify my financial sector holdings. Do you have a preference between CIX and AIG. AIG is certainly cheaper at this point based on current earnings but what about future growth?

Q: Peter - I have positions in the 5 major Canadian banks. All have dipped this morning, BMO far the worst. Yet I see that NA is actually up again. Is this just a regional thing or is there some value in NA that I can't understand. Should I drop BMO and buy NA?

Q: Greetings Team:
I stumbled into 10 shares of ELF last year on a recommendation of Moneysense magazine. It has done well and is now halted on an offering of $75 per share special dividend. What do you think of the company and what might happen such that you would consider selling.
I am another investor who thanks you for your excellent advise.

Q: Hi, is this a good entry point for Aston Hill Financial (AHF)?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Q: Hi
I read your excellent answer to Dave this morning in which you say "The main drivers to equities are (1) earnings (2) interest rates and (3) money flows (people going to cash/shifting from bonds to stocks). If earnings are strong and growing, and interest rates are low (i.e right now), it is hard to predict a big fall in the market.
I want to buy additional shares in Royal Bank [RY] but I have been watching the price rise steadily since the summer and am severely conflicted. Do I just go ahead and buy now because of the 3 parameters you mention are in force, or do I wait for a hoped-for 5% or more market pullback?
The current payout ratio is 49% for RY and the yield only 3.81% so I would expect a dividend increase because of the rising stock price and falling yield, but with the payout ratio so high [normally in the 45% range I believe for banks] is this even likely?
Many thanks... Paul

Q: DIVIDEND ETFs: I agree completely with your 03 Nov. Reserarch Blog article "Five Reasons to Love Dividends". Dividend income constitutes a significant (and growing) portion of my current retirement income.
RBC is about to launch 3 new dividend-oriented ETFs (RCD, RUD, RWD) and in August Vanguard Canada launched 2 new dividend-oriented ETFs benchmarked to the US Dividend Achievers Select Index. Please comment on these offerings as an alternative to holding dividend-oriented mutual funds or a portfolio of individual dividend-paying equities.
Thank you.

Q: Hi,
What do you think about FTN? It has grown nicely over the months due to the strength of the financial sector and coupled with capital gains is also paying a hefty dividend. Their dividend I think you mentioned is considered return of capital. What are the risks of investing in this product considering the finance sector continues its upward trend
