He'd lean towards adding near term. Stock's beaten up, has rallied off lows. Cheapest valuation of all Canadian banks. Less exposed to US tariff risk, as it has a big US presence. Leadership change, Schwab sale, share buybacks.

Not entirely clear to him what future of back-to-the-office is. Not sure we'll have the same office boom we did pre-Covid. Lower 10-year yield in Canada is helpful, but other sectors in the space are preferable.

Controversial name. Rallied recently, takeover and breakup speculation. If you still own it, worth hanging on to for a potential event leading to more upside. 

Market approves. Part of an effort to return focus to core retailing. Buying a high-end brand like this was perhaps off-strategy. Good business, but facing headwinds like weaker CAD, trade war risk and potential consequent recession.

Meanwhile, we will see atrophy. This isn't about left or right politics. He needs to see a clear path forward--stability--so he knows where the economy is going. He's spoken to private equity, CEOs and bankers and they're all flummoxed--where is this economy going?

He trimmed 20%. Bitcoin's momentum reversed after peaking at $105,000 at Trump's election, but is now going down.
