Q: Hi group - BNS taking a hit due to lass than stellar results (compared to other Cad banks) in the 2 nd quarter. I also own TD (trading near its high) my question is should I cash in 1/2 (500 shares) of TD and purchase more BNS to try and take advantage of the lower stock price (I am thinking that BNS has a lot more upside potential in the coming mths and years. Also I own the US banks and am becoming frustrated with their performance - what going on? they should be trading higher due to the strong economy?...Thanks for your guidance on this

Q: I was talking to my financial advisor about getting into a couple of high dividend securities north of 4% with some growth. They mentioned AW.UN, LIF, CGX, EXE. They said most of them have had a run except for the KEG and they said that one might be the better one. Which ones do you like of this group I have mentioned or are there any that you could recommend?
Thank you, Dennis

Q: My 20 year old son has been investing based on your balanced portfolio. He has little need for income currently as he has at least two more years in school. Those costs are covered by an RESP. His financials holdings consist of BNS and ECN. Do you see any value in selling ECN and replacing it with either SLF or GSY? Is there any possible catalyst that will start ECN on an upward trajectory?

Q: Hi all at 5i, I have about 45k invested with only 5k in cash. I own all of the above names and was wondering if you were to free up some cash which of these stocks would you trim. If you think 5k in cash is enough, do you think any of these names would be good to trade for another name? Do you have any concerns over any of these names at this moment in time.

Feel free to deduct as many points as necessary.

Thanks,
Dan

Q: Hello Peter & Ryan,
Thank you for our great return on ECI, I bought it a week or so before Brookfield buy-out.
Your opinion on re-arrange my TFSA currently holdings 4 stocks DRG.UN, MFC, RY & HLF . We did well with the first three and loss 40% HLF (small position of 300 shares). We have 4 years hold in mind
1) Replace DRG.UN with CHP.UN
2) Double down on HLF small position loss about 40% or replace with RSI or ATD.B
3) Replace MFC with a combo ALA & ENB or FTS & AQN
4) Replace RY with CIX & BNS

And add small position in TSGI or GUD


Thank you and keep the good work!

Q: Hi,

I am looking to purchase some shares in a Canadian Bank. (The 5 main ones,
Canadian Western, Laurentian or National). Which of the banks do you think offer the best potential for total return over the next 5 or so years? Taxes are not a consideration; It is a registered account. Which of the banks do you think offer the least risk?


Thanks,
IF
