Q: To increase the return of my financial equities I'm thinking of selling all my ZWB (BMO Covered Call Banks) and replacing it with an equal amount of TD and BNS. Is a 12 month total return of 8% reasonable? Thanks for the fantastic service. Paul

Q: Hi:
I bought HCG at around $ 52 recently, I understand that a group of people South of the border were shorting the stock, HCG fell from near $ 60 to the level where I bought it,
I am planning to hold it for at least 2 years to get the dividend
and hopefully enjoy abit of capital gain, do you think I should add more HCG at this stage ? Would it be a reasonable move?
Many thanks! have a good day

Q: Hello 5i, I have a different company I wish to ask about. It is called Zions Bancorporation, ZION on Nasdaq. It took a real beating in the bank sector collapse. I am a strong believer in tactical asset allocation and was considering this stock. I know it will be a gruelling climb back to its "former glory". It has boosted its capital, reduced its preferred shares, and now the common share holders got a boost in dividends. Is this a sign that they are on a semi-straight path upwards?

Thanks very much.

Zen

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team:

What is your opinion on CEW Equal Weight Bank and Lifeco ETF as a diversified investment in the financial sector? It would be about 8.4% of the overall portfolio. CEW holds 10 bank and insurance company stocks.

The purchase of CEW would be funded by the sale of TD, as I realize that 8.4% is too high a weighting for this one bank stock. A commentator on BNN suggested greater diversification in this sector going forward.

As usual, thanks in advance for your timely advice and excellent service.
