Numbers for Canadian financials are starting to accelerate. Canadian banks over-provisioned for loan losses; if they don't have to tap into those reserves, should see really strong numbers going forward. On technicals, all the Canadian banks are moving up the ranks. Over 10-20 years, there hasn't been a better investment. They all pay a dividend, though not fantastic growth every single year, a bit lumpy.
They've all done well, and TD has caught up to the others, so it wouldn't make sense to switch out of one for another at this point.

He was too early mid-2024 in calling energy, a mistake. Energy is in a sideways trading range, so that's the problem. Is optimistic energy long-term, but this will be dead money for the next couple months.
