Q: Hi. May I please have your comment of FN’s earnings. Cheers

Q: Can I please get your updated thoughts on this company? Thanks.

Q: Context: We're retired and conservative, increasingly risk averse actually. Our portfolio throws off enough for our lifestyle, which comprises 50% GIC's/cash 50%, 15% preferred resets and 35% equities. Our equities are made up of 70% individual stocks (dividend and income) and 30% etf's (SPX and XSP). Though our equity % is much lower than most financial advisors recommend, it's enough for us.
Question 1: You are inclined to some individual stock holdings for a portfolio of our size. Yet, I'm mulling replacing our individual stocks with one or two etf's or funds to more easily get better diversification (mostly because we're presently twice your recommended financial weighting) and also because I'll sleep better if not dependent on ups and downs of our individual stock holdings. Your generic thoughts on the foregoing please?
Question 2: If one were to make this shift, would your generic thoughts be to more SPX and XSP or would you be inclined to another one or two etf's (or funds)?
Thank you!

Q: I've currently found my portfolio out of balance. Can you recommend companies in the Banking/Financial Sector and Consumer Staples that you can recommend?

Q: I am looking at insider buying on VersaBank and it looks like everyone is buying, the CEO, the CFO, the Directors and at much higher prices close to $8.00. Is that a sign that some good news is coming soon? Would Versa Bank fit the bill for a buyout by a large Bank?
