RE:LBS vs. FTN NAVYes the US banks got a great run... however it was probably a bit premature.
Today the CAD rising more vs the USD, and FTN 's holdings have very little green.
The interest rates staying higher for longer benefits lifecos more than banks, and yet the lifecos selling off more than the banks. I suspect that will turn around soon again.
Recent offering gives LBS a lot of capital to put in the holdings here soon, and a ffew days of pullbacks will give them a good buying zone.
FTN trading at a discount gives them no hope of an offering, but Quadravest loves the ATM for selling shares from the treasury so that may be happeninig right now.
