Investment Q&A

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

Q: Why is BNS and the other banks shares price decreasing lately? With the positive economic news and increase of interest rates, I would have thought that the bank shares would be moving higher.
With increasing interest rates and banks at attractive valuations, would it be a good time to go overweight in banks for an income investor who is attracted to the 3.7%+ yields and possible capital gains.

Q: Hi. This is my first time posting a question, or rather three questions. Why would a small-cap company like ABT want to issue dividends? Is there any benefit for them to do so? Is there dividend in more danger of being cut, because they are a small-cap company?

Q: Good morning,
I recently (last 2 weeks) added BCE, Enbridge and Goeasy to my kids' accounts with a 2-3 years investment horizon. Last night's guest on Market Call had nothing but bad things to say about these three companies as long term investments. I rely a lot on what I hear on market call is that a mistake and do you think my entry points were ok?
Thank you,
Chantal

Hello Peter
Is there any reason to avoid Bank of Commerce? It has a trailing P/E of 8.96, dividend of 4.52%, is by far the cheapest of all the Canadian Banks and would seem to be a best buy. Are there any problems anticipated with the new US acquisition? Anything I am missing? Is a 6% position in CM ok for income added to existing positions in RY 4%, BNS 3%, and TD 2%?
Thank you......... Paul K
