Q: ZWB versus Bank of Nova Scotia for my Dad, my kids RESP or myself. The banking portion of a
healthy 90 year old's well balanced successful portfolio, wouldn't mind some cash flow and to maintain initial investment. Well balanced RESP, 1/2 is laddered bonds, will need the funds in 2-7 years, have 12.5% in ZWB, should it change to BNS? For myself, 15 years before I need cash, well balanced portfolio - ZWB vs BNS?

Q: Hi guys. I've been looking at Equitable Group (ETC). 2014 estimated earnings is $6.07 giving it a forward p/e of 6.09. 2013 estimated earnings is $5.49 giving it a p/e of 6.75.

Any idea what the historical p/e norm is for companies like ETC? Seems dirt cheap but with a div of less than 2% I'm guessing it can remain dirt cheap for long periods of time.

Q: I'm looking to buy at least one of the Big-5 Canadian Banks. There is all this chatter in the last 2 years about a housing crash and I'm not immune to this constant rhetoric in the news and blogosphere. Therefore I'm hesitant to put money into these banks, but I also don't want to ignore the pretty stable dividends that they can provide. Would you suggest that I make the investment in the banks now and if so, which of the big 5 is the safest?
