RE:RE:From BNN This A.M.Canadian Banks have rarely, if ever, cut the dividend. However, I think a fear that the new CEO may cut the dividend is a valid concern. The street is surprised that BNS would search outside of their own ranks, something Canadian Banks typically don't do. So they've done something that is not typical . . . if that's the case then what would prevent them from doing something else not typical . . . namely cutting the dividend? Nothing is sacred in our brave new business world . . .
