Q: In a recent question today on value Canadian stocks, you mentioned BNS as a top 5. Why BNS out of the big 5 banks? If I want to invest in Canadian banks, with at least a 10 year horizon, how would you rank them to buy?

Q: Would you agree that SJ is a solid investment, fairly valued at the moment and current price is a good entry point? Would you take a position at this time? If not, what would be your price target?

Q: Would you consider CNC a good investment given their involvement in senior care and the aging demographics in the US? They also recently acquired Magellan Health which gives them exposure to one of the US biggest behavioural health platforms and are also starting to focus on a pharmacy segment and look to be developing into a fairly diversified company. However they do have significant exposure to Medicaid programs and linkages to the Affordable Care Act but not sure how big a risk to consider that might be? I currently hold CVS which is not perhaps direct competition but appears to be closer to fair value while CNC is still projected to have anywhere from a 16 to 23% discount. Wells Fargo has them overweight with a target of $87. Would you hold CVS, and take a position with CNC as well, or sell CVS and move it to CNC for it's potential upside? Thanks!

Q: I am a fan of Brookfield and own BAM and related stocks. I also ( try to ) follow companies in which BAM has significant holdings. Formerly owning Genworth comes to mind and am presently acquiring SPB. My problem is in determining sources of current BAM holdings.
The annual report doesn’t help much or possibly I am not searching properly. Thanks. Derek
