Q: Hi,
Would you be reluctant to maintain more than $100K invested in a Canadian financial institution because of the cap on CDIC insurance?

I recently transferred a bunch of dough to Tangerine as its HISA is paying 2%.

I'm not concerned but should I be?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Me, pondering a move or two and would like your take. In a LIRA that is diversified and balanced for stability and with say 20 years to go, I hold BAMR with a weighting of 2.66%. And I'm pondering selling it and replacing with with more GOOG, current weighting of 2.67% as GOOG, for me, has a risk factor of 9 out of 10 and is highly profitable......and that would take the position weighting up to say 4.5%.And then with the remaining cash, buy a starter position in MED, with my risk factor of 6 out of 10 and with both high growth and profitability and seems to be undervalued relative to its food product peers.Or rather than MED, take a starting position in Accenture PLC, with a risk rating of 9 out of 10 and with high profitability and low risk relative to its business support service service peersNow pondering what to do....Go with an add to GOOG and take a start position with MED or ACN......or take equal starter position in both of MED and ACN???....or another option that you might suggest I consider. ........Thanks for the assistance.........Tom

Q: Consensus is that a recession is coming, question is when. When the recession hits will that be a precursor to a bear market? If so will that be cyclical or secular?
You recently answered a question stating that recessions typically last less than a year. If so that would suggest it may be a precursor to a cyclical bear market but not a secular (multi year??) bear market.
Many pundits suggest we are in the late innings of a secular bull market, which started in 2009, I wonder whether this imminent recession would be the precursor to a pending secular bear market, thoughts?
