Q: Hello Peter, Ryan & Co.
The Canadian banks are core holdings in my portfolio, which I intend to hold for a very long time. I am a bit perplexed, however, at the recent selloff. I recognize that the current pullback/correction in the market is very broad, but it seems to have been triggered by a fear of rising interest rates - don't banks & insurance companies actually benefit from rising rates? The banks' shares seem to have fallen as much as the interest-sensitive stocks this week (like REITs & utilities), which makes no sense to me. Can you explain?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, & Co.,
Can I please have your assessment of Boston Pizza's latest results released today? I was expecting slightly better, given the (slow) recovery of the Alberta economy. What is your opinion of the sustainability of the dividend? It has not been raised in a while.
Thanks,
Brian

Q: I, like everyone like rising share values but as an investor still in the accumulating phase of life, lower share prices equal more shares bought every quarter or month. If one is in invested in decent financial instruments and payouts are not cut then the price of the underlying security does not matter unless you have to sell. I remember 2000 and 2008/9. We were due for a correction and we will again survive. Just my two cents worth, Steve

Q: Sorry guys, didn't see the response to Ichr before I send in my question. I suppose the real question now is it too late to get rid of as I am down quite considerable but it's only a small % of over portfolio.
Thanks again for your assistance.
