Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I was wondering if you knew much about FedNow. Online it says it will not replace apps like Venmo or Cash App, as it will depend on if your bank and the bank you are sending to opt in. But why would a bank not opt in? It sounds like many banks are already gearing up to implement it this summer. Once fully implemented at US banks, will it be similar to Canadian e-transfers? Why would customers not use it for P2P payments, such as splitting a tab, if it is free, just we we do here in Canada? Thanks.

Q: After spending almost 2 months in overbought situation, RSI over 70, it reverted to an RSI under 30 in a couple of days. I have read what a lot of analysts say and yes their numbers were not great but I did not think they were disasterous. This stock is in a recommended portfolio I follow of US income orienated stocks. I do not own it but its appeal has risen with this. Can I have thoughts

Q: I have this security In my TFSA, sitting at a 78% loss. It now represents 0.25 % of my portfolio.

I am very comfortable financially and do not foresee having to withdraw from my TFSA in the next 20 years.

Other than it being en eyesore, do you feel there is an opportunity cost that comes with continuing to hold it?

How would you proceed, keep it for fun and see if it runs, or sell it?

Thank you.

Q: Is a crunch coming again to Regional Banks with exposure to commercial Property.

A lot of empty space and people are not coming back to offices. I BM said come back or find another job. How bad is it. Is it wise to avoid all Banks fir the next few months.

* heard that South Korean Pension Funds ate deeply exposed to U S Commercial Buildings as are Regional Banks

New York and California are a disaster

Avoid or start to accumulate on weakness

What banks look good to you ?

Q: I own these two ETF’s with a reasonable profit on each. Would you continue to hold them? Or would you be inclined to sell them either now or perhaps around mid year? Could you provide some rationale for your recommendations. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i
Regarding your answer to my earlier question about BMO....
"Overall, we would stay away from financial institutions with a weak capital base and questionable loan book quality. In a loss scenario, as we saw last year in the regional banking crisis, equity can at times be eroded quickly."
Is BMO in a situation where this is a similiar issue for them?
thx
