Q: 11:56 AM 4/3/2018
I own RY, CM, BNS, and some TD, and they comprise nearly 20% of my income-oriented portfolio. It is often suggested that I should own shares in one or more insurance companies, but I think the big banks are already in the insurance business so I believe I am already am invested in the insurance sector.
Would you think I need to buy some SLF?
Could you please give me an estimate of what proportion is in insurance business in each of the big banks.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Hi. In the Financial sector, I own BNS (5%), TD (5%), GSY(3.2%), ECN(3.3%) and Visa (2.4%). Is the banking sector too high? If I need to sell, which one should go first? Is GSY and ECN very similar in nature? Should I own both? Thanks

Q: Hi, there is an article on Motley Fool today that lists these 3 stocks as forever hold (especially on recent pullbacks) for value, growth and dividend growth. What is your take on this? I have 30+ years and use any drips available. I already own bns as well. Do you know if anything that presents major issues or headwinds for them?

Thanks

Q: Hello: I currently own BMO, CM and BNS. I’m thinking of switching BMO for TD as BMO did not increase its dividend as TD did. Also I believe TD has more US exposure which should show better growth. Your opinion please.
