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

Q: The big 6 Canadian Banks? I do not know why many investors have an aversion to the banks? Over the last 15 years the capital appreciation and dividend compounding have been second to none. I own a good portion in my varied portfolios and all have performed extremely well with the exception of BNS. I have a friend who invested 15 years ago in the banks $1.5 M - now over $8M and generate a lot of income for him. I think he owns now about 40,000 shares. I think most if not all portfolios should contain a good helping of the Canadian banks. He is my age 77 YO.

Q: I keep reading how the S&P is trading at high values compared to historical values and because of that is risky. do you think that etfs that track the S%P 500 (e.g. ZSP) are more risky than a mid-cap ETF such as ZMID or XMC which are trading at their historical values?

Q: With the recent news and huge share price drop due to "indictment charging several individuals, including a Super Micro co-founder and board member, a sales manager, and a contractor, of “conspir[ing] to divert billions of dollars” of servers illegally to China in violation of export controls"

1) Is this a good buying opportunity if the investing time horizon is 3+ years?
2) does this recent news affect the future earnings potential of this company?

Thanks in advance.
