Regarding these 2 companies which one has more growth prospects, better value for 2025? Are they overlapping businesses or complimentary to each other? I have a nice gain in MS thinking about trimming and buying some GS.

Q: Hi Group is it a no brainer to buy CWB and sit on it until deal goes thru? Looks like around 25% upside simply waiting on the deal to go tru with the only risk being government intervention. What do you think?

also light on Canadian /us banks/financials I own GSY. US has been outperforming Canadian financials by a long shot. What's you thought on financials in general (US or Cad) give me some of your top financial sector picks regardless of US /Canadian

Q: Dear Peter et al:

To my question on June 29th, you had suggested these three as your safe picks amongst US banks. (You also included C,BAC,WFC. But I have chosen to highlight the top three.

From tomorrow the earnings reports will start trickling in, starting with JPM.

Should one wait or start taking positions from today! Going forward, what is your prediction for these three banks?

Many thanks.
Mano.

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your consistent answers not only to my questions but to other subscribers, I have taken a position in RY, BN and TD. BNS may follow soon.

However having browsed through literally hundreds of questions on US Financial stocks, I don't see the same consistent answers. JPM seems to get your nod mostly. Even that doesn't get the nod with the fervor with which you endorse RY for example. In general you seem to be less enthusiastic about the US big banks.

What are the US banks that you would rank in the same order as you often do in Canadian banks? i.e. equivalent to RY/TD/BNS.

Thank you.

Mano

Q: Hi 5i,
I plan on purchasing these 4 companies to cover off my exposure to the US markets.

What is your opinion of this portfolio? Any other addition?

Weighting in the Portfolio is a consideration, so I only have 4 positions.

Is now a good time to start accumulating, and it what order?

Thanks for the opinion.
