Q: Hello, I have too many financial stocks and I would like to sell one of the above but I'm not sure which one to let go of. I was thinking of letting X go or one of the Brookfield stocks. Your thoughts please, I feel I can get enough diversification with only four stocks in this sector. Thank you in advance.

Q: I have asked questions about core portfolio and compounders. I would like to refine my query to building a concentrated core portfolio [say, 20 CAD-USD total]. I start with the allocations greater than 5% in the 3 portfolios. BN is less than 5% on its own, yet, I wonder whether it would not be the core Canadian financial stock. As for US, there are many Fav lists, but could you boil it down to 10. For each stock, please provide key rationale for choosing it and a target buy price.
Much appreciated,

Q: Why is GIL going up in price? Don't get me wrong, I was a bit concerned at a sell - off so I'm happy. In looking at their latest quarterly release, things didn't look particularly rosy for the next several quarters. They did increase dividend, so I suppose this would have maintained a certain level of confidence, but am I missing something? Thank you.

Q: Apologise if this has been asked but what is your opinion surrounding Structured Notes being offered by banks. I can't fully understand the risk exposure and my gut tells me if my bank pushes them they must be make the institution fees beyond just buying a bond or ETF. I am quite happy with my bond exposure being only investment grade and laddered to minimize interest rate risk.

Q: Hi Guys

In regard to Tricon I am thinking of adding to my position but am wondering what their exposure would be to variable rates. I do not want a interest rate surprise like AQN. What do you think of the likelihood of that happening at the upcoming earning release? Should I be worried about any other surprises with TCN? Are you still feeling positive on this stock?

Much thanks Stuart

Q: COWZ seems to have outperformed broader indexes like SPY and RSP. It seems to have outperformed several other factor or other specialized ETFs like SCHD and JEPI. I say ‘seems’ because neither RBC-DI nor iTRADE charts identify if dividends are included in the stock charts depicted on their respective platforms.

I am puzzled because COWZ trades more than broader ETFs and has higher trading fees ; also its MER is higher at 0.49 (source ETF.com). Am I missing something or is COWZ indeed a good vehicle for a portfolio? Would you top up existing positions in JEP and SCHEDULED or start a modest position in COWZ? I would appreciate if you would add color to your answer.
