Q: Invesco just announced that its assets under management grew by less than 0.1% in August vs July. That does not seem like a good omen -appears to be capital gains growth inside portfolios (~3% S&P) just outpacing withdrawals.

In your opinion, what weighting should be given to this metric in this industry vs the large dividend yield 5% and low P/E of 8?

Q: Considering sell fli and buying cgx. My reasoning is that rising interest rates have not really helped insurance stocks because the yield curve is flat or close to it. FLI is exdevidend Sept 21. Should this affect my decision to sell? CGX has an equivalent dividend , more growth .gaming while at the same time time I collect a dividend, I won’t be paying a management fee,
I’m under water with FLI.
Should I stick with FLI or switch.? I don’t think FLI dividend is eligible for the tax credit

Q: Currently own a 4% position of Dollarama and after the disappointment today was thinking of switching over to Covalon as a replacement. Looking out 3+ years would you look at this as a better long term strategy? Starting to worry the Dollar store space could get crowded in the coming years.
