RE: US bank reform-OT

Keep pumping Yannio.

"The ceos of Canadian banks are compensated in line with the ceos of the 100 largest Canadian corporations and are compensated less than the ceos of the largest gold companies"

An apples and oranges comparison. Something that is lost on the bank pumpers. On top of that I wouldn't even think about investing in ANY of the 100 largest Canadian corporations or PM corporations. I wouldn't invest in a Barrick gold due to massive dilution to try to get rid of their atrocious hedgebook nor would I invest in a BNS with their mountains debt that will come back and bite them in the butt.

You can make all the excuses in the world (and I think you have), for bank management robbing shareholders with disgusting year end compensation but there are very few who are buying your fantasy.

Dividend investing in this market is a dead end proposition (and a lazy man's recipe for investing). You have to trade in the market to make any money.
