Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you please give an updated opinion on First National Financial Corporation (FN). It is Canada's largest non-bank mortgage broker and currently trades in the middle of its range at $17.20 with an 8.14% dividend, paid on a monthly basis. Is it just an income play, or can I expect additional capital gains? Is the current dividend safe? Many thanks!

Q: Good afternoon,

Looking to see if you might have any insights on today's decline in the WPT industrial reit. I understand their earnings are out next month but I did not see any pre announcements. The price seems to have been driven down by some concentrated selling from Raymond James and Scotia over the last several days. Any insights are most appreciatred.

regards,
Brad

Q: Not a question but a remark in regard to a question to you today about GE. I was watching BNN today and Andrew Bell said that GE is cutting back on GE Financial. He said if it was a bank it would be the 5th largest in the USA. GE is reportedly cutting back on the financial business in order to concentrate on the industrial business.

Q: Good morning Peter:
I have been wrestling with what to do with a cash account I have at BMO Investorline which I set up for emergency uses. It holds about $13k and is currently all cash. In the past I have invested in utilities or reits just to get income. So far, no emergencies have occurred, so the cash sits there doing nothing. What would you do? Thank you and kind regards.

Q: Peter;This is a question , for those quiet days, if you and staff have any. ON BNN there two very loud, in your face advertisers whom we all know and use the mute when they are on- at least I do. One is Joel Matlin with his Alarmforce. I actually admire his marketing but still mute.The other one is Vectorvest. I question this firms off the wall claims- especially the one using a tenn aged boy. Has anyone ever tried to quantify their claims.? All you have to do is plug it and money rolls in . No muss, no fuss. I wish I had the skills to test their claims. Like I said maybe on a slow,day? Thanks. Rod

Q: Re: ZWB-T

Hi Peter and Crew,

Thanks you for the great answer on the BMO ZEB-T (equal weight Canadian Banks) vs. purchasing 20% each of the big 5.

As a followup question, can you highlight some advantages or potential risks of the BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks fund (ZWB-T). From my analysis, the CC strategy does produce a higher yield. Tempting, but the one year total performance appear to be very similar. What "gotcha's may be out there ?

Thanks for a great service !

Q: Hi Peter, How should I view today's bought deal announcement from LSI? On one hand it's a huge raise given the market cap, but on the other it would allow them to purchase roughly 25 units for cash - and accelerate there growth beyond the current 50%+ rate. I don't know if I should be upset or excited.
Thanks in advance.
