RE: RE: anyone buying this? your exactly right .... at least with Canadian Banks you have a safe investment, make about 6 % on your investment which is not bad and then if the price goes up from when you buy you get a great bonus ! even though they did not raise their dividend you can see they didn't have too. They were the best Canadian bank per share value in the past and remain one of the best today !
The way BMO trades makes it ideal for this even though it can be a frustrating stock to hold. It can make hugh day swings and when it swings 1 - 2 $ per day one can make some serious money when you own hundreds or even thousands of shares !
You speak of the $30 80's well that made me big money ... I bought at $28 and sold at $56. Now the trick to not losing money is not having to sell .... if you can afford to hold your stock and not sell if it goes down, they you will not loose because Canadian banks will come back.
Best of fortune to all !
