Q: Happy 2019,
Do you have any concern with buying equal amounts of TD, CNR and SU with the recent market pullback? Long (10+ year) hold for a TFSA. Thanks again.

Q: Hi, the listed shares currently make up my portfolio in relatively equal portions. I was wondering--with the $6000 TFSA amount, do any of these names stick out to top up with the full $6k or partial amounts? Alternatively I have been following Savaria SIS and considering initiating a new position? Thanks so much for your guidance.

Q: Hi, I have a pile of different rate reset preferred shares that have done nothing but lose value, and I am considering ditching some of them and buying bank stocks. Of the choices between the big five Canadian banks which ones would you favour the most, I am looking for steady dividend payers that could go up in value. .........thanks Joseph.

Q: I think that 3 more increases in interest rates are expected by end of 2019. You commented recently that one of these banks stock dropped due to bad loans. Is the info on bad loans available in the QLY rpts or elsewhere? I understood that the banks generally do well in rising interest rates but will this be offset by fewer mortgages?
Thanks

Q: I have a 10% position in TD and a 2.5% position in BNS. Would you reduce the TD position and use the proceeds to bring BNS up to 5% or just add to BNS using the 25% cash position in the account? In addition, I have 5% positions in V and BAC. Over exposed to financials period? I am a retired conservative investor who would ideally prefer to have good dividend with some growth. I have substantial gains in all financials mentioned.

Thank you for your great service.

Tom

Q: HI there: I am still in comfortable profit margin from investments in the three stocks above. I wonder what you think about taking profits (now 20 % lower for Apple) now and holding some money on the side, or is buying on this dip a good idea. Especially re Apple.

Q: Hi Peter, when do TD & BNS report and what are your expectations ?
Based upon the recent muted responses to good 1/4s and the very negative responses to misses is there any value in exiting here and freeing capital for the best overall market values once this 1/4 is over ? Both banks have held in well so far but its tough to picture that either one will have a short term move up substantially from here. Thanks, Paul

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I don't have any banks in my portfolio. In current scenario is it better to go with single ETF or buy individual listed banks. Value your opinion.

Thanks

Q: Hi,

Does JPM, BLK offer better value as compared to BNS, TD. Do we need to diversify in to US Banks or Canadian banks and insurance companies are a good diversification for the Financials sector allocation.

Thanks

Q: I saw the question Murray asked on dividend increases of Canadian banks and it made me curious. Could you provide a historical annualized return combining dividends and capital gains for the same banks over the same 18 years { 2000-2018 } ?
