Q: Hi, I'm light on financials holding a full position in TD. I was wondering if you could give me a few picks with safety, dividends and some growth being the parameters for a retiree's income portfolio? Would now be a good time to add another bank or would you lean into an insurance name at this time? Or something else? I look forward to your response. Thank you.

Q: I agree the quarter looked fine on the surface with most numbers up but I think the change in yearend but what's being compared is a 4 month final quarter and 10 month year. Also net impaired loans are ramping up big time.

Could this be what is spooking trading in the stock today? Perhaps you could take a closer look at the numbers.

Q: Hi. Follow-up on your previous EQB good results quarter question. Being a rookie investor I just don’t understand after such a good quarterly report why the stock went on sale down $9.99 at one time today. Can you explain in plain layman’s term why or at least give a guess why such a big drop? If this report would have been horrible does that mean the price would have jumped? Just when I thought I knew how the game worked this change has added some confusion to my thought process. Thanks again for all that you’se guys do for us amateurs. Ken. :-)

Q: Hi Team,
Can you give a brief lowdown of EQB please. What is the bullish story with them? Strengths, risks etc. Do you see more upside in them compared to the traditional big banks? Also; looking back at a 10 yr chart on eqb they seemed to have struggled in the past to maintain any sort of uptrend. I see they had a big run up in 2019 and 2021 but only to have a drastic crash back down again. What caused the last crash in 2021 from the mid 150's to 75 range? And is this issue resolved? Is this a comeback story? I don't really know the history of the bank. Thanks

Shane.

Thanks
