And who wouldn’t want to invest in a bank whose CEO doesn’t think $180million is significant? LOL
And what would the significant part be? As an investor my worry would be how much of those loans might end up in default and therefore what would the cost to the bank be. Considering these loans are all in good standing at the moment and that they have homes as collateral, I'm thinking the potential loss to Laurentian from these loans is no higher than the rest of their portfolio. So yes, who wouldn't want to invest in a bank like this? The only ones I can think of are shorters. Is that what you've done, shorted?
Cheers.
