Investment Q&A

Q: Interested in a large cap US financial stock. Which would you prefer, BAC or C or JPM or MS, or do you have another option.

Many thanks.

Q: With JP Morgan giving their earnings report tomorrow, do you think the tax changes in the United States are reflected in the current pricing? Also do you think at current pricing that it is a good entry point (new record high)? Would you recommend starting a position today before the report or waiting? Would you recommend this being added to an RRSP (no-withholding tax)?

Finally, I have tried to find that blog post that was written a while ago about what account is best to put certain securities (CDN vs. US vs. Dividend (CDN/US)) but I cannot seem to find it. If you would be so kind to provide a link to it I would greatly appreciate it as I find its a great guide for new investors like myself.

Thanks so much for all your advice and great service! I cannot say how much I learn on a daily basis thanks to you and your team!

Q: I currently hold Bank of America and would like to add a second US Bank. What would be your recommendations?

Q: Good Morning,
I currently own equal amounts of BMO, NA, & RY. I am considering selling one of the three and replacing it with JPM. Do you think this strategy makes sense, and if so, which one of the Canadian Banks would you let go.
Thank you for this great service and all the best to you and your families for the holidays!

My portfolio stands as of right now at 22% tech and 15% financials. Would you recommend I leave my portfolio as is or should I lean more towards financials going forward?

Thx/Rob

Q: Hello

I have been holding on to Wells Fargo for the last few years and unfortunately have missed the run up with the other US banks. Its currently in my TFSA, I've been considering selling and purchasing BAC or JPM. Which one would you recommend, is there still some upside? Etrade Financial (although more online trading platform) is another option, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: I have about 35 % in the above stocks in my TFSA and they have gone up nicely. The rest of my TFSA portfolio is following loosely your income portfolio ( + ZPW, ZWE, ZWH etc). My question is whether I should lower my exposure to the financial sector above?
Do you have some suggestions as to which US companies I could buy were I to sell some of the banks. I bought the US banks for growth as the rest of the stocks on the Can. side are mostly income producers.I already own Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft and Visa in my RRSP.
Thank you for your answer.
