What about the FDIC? The FDIC already provides us with a way of protecting deposits from defaulting banks.

Hi Gina,

Haven’t been feeling all that inspired to write in recent months as I don’t have much value to add: investors eyes have already been pried open. That and the fact that I have had my attention diverted by some personal matters — which thankfully have nothing to do with the market.

The only area where I think people are still missing the mark is Canadian bank stocks and in particular Toronto property, where I still think there could be considerable downside. After all, if commodity prices and stock prices are back to where they were 5+ years ago, why is property only at 2007 levels?

Never trust a chairman named Ramalinga.

Sounds too much like:

“Oo ee, oo ah ah, ting tang, walla walla bing bang.”

The Indian IT consultants cannot be trusted with company assets. Some are good, most are not.

LOL HAHAHHAHA Serves them right. American companies sending jobs overseas and paying the price. I love it. I refuse to do business with any company that outsources our IT jobs.

Comment on Equities better than junk? by Truth or Talk

Hard to say – it could be catchup or a realization that it’s cheap relative to equities markets. One thing to pay attention to though is that its price premium is rising relative to its NAV which suggests the equity holders are chasing it rather than the bond guys.

Interesting study that shows that blocking redemptions hurts the fund more in the long run.
