Q: Hello

I have been holding on to Wells Fargo for the last few years and unfortunately have missed the run up with the other US banks. Its currently in my TFSA, I've been considering selling and purchasing BAC or JPM. Which one would you recommend, is there still some upside? Etrade Financial (although more online trading platform) is another option, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: I have about 35 % in the above stocks in my TFSA and they have gone up nicely. The rest of my TFSA portfolio is following loosely your income portfolio ( + ZPW, ZWE, ZWH etc). My question is whether I should lower my exposure to the financial sector above?
Do you have some suggestions as to which US companies I could buy were I to sell some of the banks. I bought the US banks for growth as the rest of the stocks on the Can. side are mostly income producers.I already own Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft and Visa in my RRSP.
Thank you for your answer.

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.
