Q: What are your thoughts on the announced acquisition by EQB of Concentra Bank, along with the big dividend increase. Is this an opportunity to step into the name, considering enhanced growth potential, a current P/E of only 9 (G&M figure) and that there might be a pullback toward the bought deal sub receipt price of $70.50?

Q: I am trying to steer my and my husband's TFSA's more toward growth. The stocks listed are some of the stocks in our TFSA's that I am considering swapping out in favour of growth-oriented stocks on my watchlist. Can I get your opinion? Do you think that any of the listed stocks have enough growth potential to belong in a growth-oriented TFSA?
Thank you, Doris

Q: What 5 stocks (Can and US) now in the bargain bin seem most likely to turn out to be gems in 2 or 3 years time? Much of the market seems very expensive at an uncertain time.

Q: Can you please comment on Equitable's recent quarterly results. How does their valuation now compare to others in the financial services sector? It appears to have been another very strong quarter with their CET1 ratio now close to, if not, higher than the big 5 banks. I know 5i prefers GSY but I'm wondering why EQB doesn't get much love considering their very strong track record of earnings and dividend growth.

Q: Hi, the GICs of smaller banks through TD direct investing such as Equitable, Home Equity and PC Bank offer much better rates than the big 5 and insurco banks. I know they are CDIC insured up to $100k but would still like to invest knowing they are decent and relatively secure companies. Could you comment on or rank the 3 mentioned in this regard and any you would pass on, Thanks
