Q: Looking through Visa financial statements for last few years and noticed that they had a 1.5 billion extra tax expense for Q316. It was explained as a non reccuring, non cash and related to visa Europe acquisition. So I calculated the p/e without that 1.5b non cash expense and got 31x, which seems much more reasonable than 39x. Is my assumption correct? And do you consider V better investment long term than MA or SQ(which I am might go half position on)?

Q: Good afternoon,
I hold the following stocks in my business account that have a weight of between 6.2% and 8.3%. This account was started in DEC/16 and has increased by 6.7% YTD not including dividends. I want to add six more stocks to further diversify while reducing the percentage per equity down to between 4 and 5%.
My goal is to generate income equal to the amount of corporate tax payable annually. I looks like this can be achievable!
Let me know if I need to share dollar values to help access.

Thanks,
Raymond

Q: I have 4% of my portfolio in Mastercard. After reporting, RBC has lowered it's target price but still holds it as a Top Pick. My other financial holding is SLF (2.5%). Based on current 3-5 year forecasts is it worth continuing to hold Mastercard or another US or Canadian financial with more torque? I'm 34 and hold the stock in my RRSP.
