Q: Hi. I have room in my TFSA for a full position - long term hold. I am looking for a financial/tech stock. I was leaning toward IPAY, but have just read your report on LSPD. What are your thoughts on LSPD vs. IPAY?

Q: I bought FSZ in early May looking for a lower risk financial company to add to my portfolio of BAM, TD, BNS, SLF, GSY.
FSZ is now down 10% since purchase and still slowly dropping. Would you suggest I sell and move on and add to one of my other financials or add something else, or hold on to FSZ. If another financial, what would you suggest.
I am still looking for a lower risk financial equity holding.

Q: I have FAH and FIH in a long term RRSP. I believe in the long term growth of these regions and I’m cautiously hopeful Mr Watsa and team are making sound PE investments to try to benefit from regional growth. But I find them tricky to assess because of the fees and the multi-asset PE structure. Can you provide your view on the financial performance of these companies? I would also appreciate your thoughts on whether you’d consider topping up a relatively small position. Please deduct two questions and deal with each separately. Thanks!

Q: Good morning team,
Re: Gud's NCIB:
“Be mindful that the largest beneficiary of the share repurchase program is Jonathan Goodman. Even if he does not participate, the reduction of shares at a substantial discount to last $10 per share capital raise only serves to increase his percentage control of the company. Like his conflicting interests with his family business (Pharmascience), either way he wins and shareholders lose.

“Rather than engage in financial engineering that principally benefits the CEO, why didn’t the Board consider a partial tender offer for shares at $10? Just give shareholders their money back at the price paid? It’s a fair question. But one that we fully expect the company to ignore.

Q: We have a lot of US stocks that I have done well on as well we have a bunch of ETF 's that hold US equities that hedge the dollar. I feel that the US dollar is starting to lose steam and we don't want to give up our individual US companies but don't want to lose on our dollar exposure. What is the most cost effective way to protect against dollar exposure for the long term?
