Q: I've read your previous answers to questions on this bank.
However, even if the stock has "priced in" the bad news doesn't this reflect very badly on management, governance, compliance etc of this institiution.
I would far sooner put money in other banks like RY. To date TD is by far the worst performing of the big banks (-15%) and I daresay this might be just the beginning of this mess.
Why not cut bate, sell it as it is a spoiled equity for the forseeable future and buy a well managed FI?
Q: Hi, How is the Recent Earnings History of the company ? Does it usually beat estimates? Stock price has shot up, over past 6 months. Is this because of Co. producing stellar results and projecting high growth in the sub-prime sector, or the Co. received recognition/got discovered by retail investors/portfolio Managers, after flying under the radar for so long. Besides 48% Insider Ownership, are there any institutional holders ?
What are street estimates and your expectations, when Co reports next week ?
We have taken a 1% starter position and keenly watching, how Co/Stock performs, next week.

Q: Hello Peter,
You had provided Tppicus expected numbers: 34 cents for EPS and $292M Euros. The company beat the revenue numbers but was short on EPS; however , Cash flow per share grew. Analysts in general seem to focus on Revenue and EPS; When looking at analysts estimates, i dont see CF per share mentioned. Why is that? If i had to choose between sunlife, manulife and Fairfax, which one would be your top pick? There was an article in the Globe that Fairfax has a huge runaway when comparing to Berkshire.. Any comments please. Thanks very much.
Q: I read in CNN today that in India, "UPI (Gov't entity) allows users to use their phone as a virtual debit card, transferring money from almost 600 member banks and fintech companies instantly without entering bank details or paying transaction fees."

2) If this is happening in India, when will Canada wake up? Do you see this coming?

This will help me make a decision regarding a purchase at the current share price .... Thanks as always for your valuable analysis .....

Q: Sunlife seems to have had a bad past 30 days, maybe worse than the overall market? It has had a great run since 2012, but when you look back to 2007 “yikes”. I know there was the big financial crisis, but it looks like the share price was cut by 2/3? Can you provide some colour commentary? Thanks.
