I recently purchased a small amount of ING Canada (IIC - TSX). I am going to continue to follow it and possibly double down in the future. I plan on holding this name for approximately 2 to 5 years (due to the cyclicality of the P&C industry). However, I don’t expect much movement in the stock for the next 6-12 months.

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should write more on this subject, it might not be a taboo subject but usually folks don't talk about these subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!
