What is your opinion of these 3 institutions and if too risky what alternatives would you suggest? As well, is the interest covered with deposit insurance.
You advise is most appreciated,
Thanks

Q: Could you please comment on the 3rd q results? I listened to the conference call and came away impressed by the growth prospects. They have taken on more space which will be ready to facilitate a large contract with a semiconductor that needed assurances the company had the capacity to deliver the volumes they need. There were a few large sophisticated buyers in the past couple of months(Radoff Foundation etc) that seems to suggest the company is undervalued.

Q: Hi 5i

I apologize..another US question. I have looked at CH AIG AFL PGR and MET. Do you feel there is more upside to US Insurance companies. So far in my research CH has not gone up as much as the others and AFL has had a big drop today. Would you suggest one to me please.
Thank you for your sage advice as always.

Q: My understanding is that financial stocks are rising due to the prospects of higher interest rates. Is the risk of defaults on consumer loans and mortgages due to higher rates and the impact on financials being overlooked?

I read consumer debt in Canada is at an all time high, a housing bubble and notice new billboards for debt restructuring services in my town. Am I valid in my concerns with the run-up in financials? I have my doubts that main street is prepared for higher rates without some sort of a crisis unfolding.
