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.

Q: If my broker went on national tv and picked 3 index stocks I would immediately move my money.
I can pay 0.03 and get the same results.
Most of the guests on BNN are scared to stray from index.
Your group is not.
I read all of the questions and answers.
I learn something new everyday.
Thank you,

Q: Hi 5iResearch Team,
I currently hold positions in 3 of Canada's 5 big banks as above and they represent about 9% of my total portfolio. Giving pending interest rate increases in both the States and Canada, I am thinking of increasing my holdings in Canadian banking sector to about 12/13 percentage of total portfolio and would like your thoughts on this.
Cheers,

Q: Hi guys, I just opened an RESP for my 4 month old and have $5k to invest for his future education. Obviously I have a long term outlook. I'm contemplating buying a single ETF, for example VXC, or a solid dividend paying company, like BNS or ENB. The latter is pretty beaten up so there could be some growth there as well. I hold all 3 mentioned funds/stocks in my RRSP/TFSA mix. Which way would you lean and/or is there a better place to invest right now?
thanks for the great resource guys!
cheers,
Mark

Q: I realize that BNS is in your portfolio but if you were going to buy shares in a Canadian bank would you still suggest BNS as the top choice. I tend to lean toward Royal or TD as perhaps better choices at this time but would appreciate your opinion and thoughts on how each of the banks is positioned for best growth and how you would rank the three banks for purchase now.

Q: Peter and Team
Could you name the three sectors for the Canadian and Us markets that will recover faster and have the most upside after the current correction.
And also name three recommendations for each market.
I always value your opinion

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan & Co.
The Canadian banks are core holdings in my portfolio, which I intend to hold for a very long time. I am a bit perplexed, however, at the recent selloff. I recognize that the current pullback/correction in the market is very broad, but it seems to have been triggered by a fear of rising interest rates - don't banks & insurance companies actually benefit from rising rates? The banks' shares seem to have fallen as much as the interest-sensitive stocks this week (like REITs & utilities), which makes no sense to me. Can you explain?

Q: Greetings,

I have some cash that I am planning on adding to my financial sector weightings - given the 20% fewer mortgages currently being written by the big banks, I suspect this will have some impact to their overall results. Given this and the insurers being cheaper right now, where would you add - the insurers or the banks.
