Q: I am concerned about my allocations to the banking sector. TD accounts for 16% of my portfolio and BAC/WFC combination 7%. All shares were purchased during the financial crisis and I have done extremely well with that move. With TD's US exposure I could pare BAC/WFC or reduce TD or continue to hold them? All shares are in RIFs. I am a conservative investor. Dividend income is good.

Q: Based on available historical data, the above have compounded earnings > 10%. I intend to put these good companies into a RRIF to boost the return of a mostly bond/gic content.
In your opinion would you regard each of the above as a good company that should be able to provide a relatively stable future annual return of 8% to 10% with the exception of a market meltdown. Looking for some reassurance regarding the picks. Thank you.

Q: Canadian banks and residential mortgages
My impression is that Canadian banks sell their mortgages. (Perhaps this is only the case for smaller banks.) Also, a portion of their portfolios would be insured. Do these points have a material impact on the actual exposure of the big banks relative to the apparent exposure arising from the volume of business? Are there comparative bank stats for their exposure in various lending markets, by sector and geography?
