Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The dividends alone on these companies are becoming quite alluring. What are the risks of a cut? Or a drop in the share price from where we are today looking out about 5-10 years? From the dividend alone, one could nearly double their investment in that time frame. I don't normally chase yields, but it's hard not to when both of these companies are trading around the same levels as they were in 2016 (or earlier).

What should happen to these companies share prices if/when interest rates get cut in June?

Please deduct as many credits as necessary.

Q: Hello Team,

The Canadian banking sector has been fairly muted for a while now, notwithstanding higher rates which have been beneficial in boosting interest income. And, soon, rates are expected to decrease. Is that going to hurt their earnings or help due to an overall smaller delinquency in loan repayments? If it will help, from a choice of buying and holding some of the smaller Canadian on-line only banks or the traditional ones, say for the next five years, which would you recommend?
