Q: Pretty ugly day, particularly for oil. Is this just more negative market sentiment re banking fallout? Does your opinion still stand to pick away on the buy side?
Q: I never thought I would be prompted to ask a question like this but now I wonder...
If I have an account with a discount broker that is part of a big 5 bank which contains say, $250k of cash, and $250k of, for example BCE stock, is there a greater of losing the cash or the stock in a default? Thanks
Q: With all the trauma in the financial sector, would you add to existing positions in Canadian bank stocks? Those dividends are starting to look real good.
Thanks Ron
Q: Does the current panic in the financial sector make FSZ more attractive or less? Should we treat its recent 13% drop as an opportunity, or should we worry that spooked investors will withdraw assets?
Sometimes companies get taken private when their share price is depressed; given such a move, would shareholders likely be the losers? Not so long ago (at $1/share higher), you characterized FSZ as "fine for income"; do you still think so?
Q: Would appreciate your current opinion on this company in terms of its future growth prospects. The financials look good but is has been a big disappointment. Move onto to something else or continue to hold?
Q: A guest on BNN commented that BN.ca requires low interest rates to do well and didn't recommend holding the stock.
The stock hasn't done well since the BN/ Bam spin out. What is 5i's opinion. Do you think there is further down side, or languish at the current price or price appreciation.
There was a common assumption that with the stock spin out that it would unlock value. Instead tanked. Buy sell or hold.
