Q: I am an income investor and hold equal weighting in all 5 big banks. I’m looking at the quite larger than normal yield spread between RY and BMO and TD and am thinking of either halving or even fully selling my RY position to add to BMO and TD. Someday when the spreads go back to being much closer, I would likely repurchase RY. Do you see anything wrong with this logic? Would you prefer one of TD or BMO for such a move? Half or full position? I’ve held RY for a long time, thus my little bit of doubt!

Q: 2 for 1 questions...
1- What is the average PE for the construction industry as it appears that URI misfortune may be linked to the residential slow down. What is the forward PE for URI?
2- It appears that TD is the most shorted of all banks throught the world according to Bloomberg. That's not a small statement. Having said that, would you buy now or wait for a general bank recovery?
Sorry this makes 3 questions. LOL LOL

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team
In your answers to other members, I’ve observed that National Bank isn’t one of your recommendation, and I’m wondering why.
Their 5 year CAGR is 9.4%. For the 3, 5, and 10 year periods, the beat their peers (BMO, CM, RY, BNS, and TD) by 6%, 6%, and 3% respectively.
Watching the negative news involving GSY, I’m considering switching it to NA. Since we’ve held GSY for some time, we’re still up quite substantially.
In our combined accounts, we also own TD, which we’ll keep.
I’d appreciate your thoughts on this proposed switch. Thanks in advance for your insight.

Thx

Q: Hi, We own above Canadian banks, which makes up the financial sector of our portfolio.
On an YTD basis, interestingly, their performance has diverged significantly, with CM +7%, RY +2.5% and TD -9%. During past 30 days (reflecting impact of recent crisis in financial sector SVB/SB), these names have declined as follows : CM -7%, RY -8% and TD -17%. Does it mean that market is assigning higher risk to TD, relative to its peers ? Does it make one name more attractive than others, and if so why, if we wish to take advantage of the sizable decline in their share prices, and add for long term investment ?
Thank You

Q: I'm currently overweight financials. Mainly due to new positions in BN/BAM/TD. With over 21% in financial broken down as follows would you begin to trim or consider BN/BAM diverse enough not to be a financial and thus reducing the overall financials concentration to 13.5%
BNS - 2%
BAM -2%
BN - 4.5% been growing this position (ideally want it to be 6%)
EQB - 1% new position
GSY - 2.5%
JPM - 2.6%
TD - 2.21% new position
Visa - 4.23%
10 year investment horizon.

Q: In feb/22 Td made an offer to purchase Fhn (who at THAT time had 55 B in loans and 75B in deposits) for 13 B or $25 a share
At that time U.S. 10 year treasuries were about 40 pts above the 2 year and the U.S. prime rate was 3.25%.
On Mar 17 Fhn was trading at $14.93 down from $21.93 a week ago and the 2 year treasury is now .57pts ABOVE the the 10 year while the U.S. prime rate is now 6.70%
Looks like investors believe Td may back out and or Fhn is losing a lot of deposits.
Meanwhile UBS has made on offer Toi purchase Credit Suisse currently valued at 8 b Euros for 1 B’
Would it not be better for Td to back out of the offer, pay a penalty and use the funds to purchase shares in Charles Schwab at a much lower price then what Td sold them for or offer to purchase Fhn at a much lower price after a NEW risk assessment is done on FHN assets

Q: Good morning
I have never been too concerned about bank failures here in Canada. But the many questions about protecting one’s account has stirred me a bit and made me wonder if i am too complacent. We had our accounts at different institutions but i was happy to consolidate them with just TD. You say the best way to protect one’s self is to make sure non registered accounts are under one million. Is it worth all the trouble to do that? I know that this is quite subjective but i would appreciate your take on it
Thanks as always

Q: I wonder if any of the big six own any US or CAN MBS or CMBS ? Thanks a lot .
Q: In my RIF account I have RY, TD, & ENB reset preferred shares all bought when issued at $25, now trading in the $14 to $17 range. The accumulated book value is $61K. My present annual yield is 3.9%, 3.8% & 4.4% respectively. The reset year is 2024, when the reset interest rate will be the Bank of Canada 5 year rate plus 2.3%, 2.4% & 2.7% respectively. So my question is, with interest rates presently rising, in your opinion are they worth holding to the reset date or should I accept my loss & redeem them now. Thanks … Cal
