Q: I have BNS, RY, SLF and FSZ in equal amounts in my "Financial" basket and need to add another name to get my financials weighting to 15%. Can you suggest a new stock and/or a etf (CDN or US stock / etf) to compliment my current holdings OR would you just add to the 4 stocks that I have? Thanks

Q: Hi All at 5i! I am thinking of investing in a Us bank. Any suggestions and would now be a good time to buy? Warren Buffett seems to be bullish on Wells Fargo. Cheers, Tamara

Q: If a fella was overweight tech and underweight financials - I own a 6% position in BNS and a 2.5% in ECN, would a sell of GOOGL and a purchase of JPM make sense?

Thanks for your great service, it is truly an exceptional business you all have created.

Q: Hi Team, A number of analysts seem to think that the U.S. financial sector(deregulation) and infrastructure(putting people back to work) are sectors to consider when investing in the U.S. Do you agree with this and if so what would be your top 2/3 stock picks in each sector? If not, what sectors and stock picks would the team suggest.

Q: I'm looking to buy a US bank. I know you like JPM, so can you compare JPM to OZRK for me? I know JPM is way bigger so less risky in theory.Looking at Fwd P/E OZRK looks more expensive but it looks much more consistent over the last 10 years and has better ROE and cash flow.Please give me you r analysis.Thanks and I'm learning a lot from your service!

Q: I have owned WFC for a couple of years and purchased it because it was considered to be the best in class by some (Warren Buffet) although its reputation has been tarnished in the last few months. I know you have always preferred JPM. Would you endorse a switch over to JPM or does WFC still provide a pretty reasonable upside in your opinion?

Appreciate your insight.
