It is not all about collected distibutions, you NEED the whole picture. If you are an active trader and know BANKS DO NOT have the same advantage as lifecos in high interest envirnoment, it is easy to make money.
I dont own BK and I do own LCS and LFE, Which both trade at discounts, AND that is a parameter i always use. If you are long investor and dontlike to trade , yeah BK will give you distributions..
BUT U may see some capital losses buying here...
Ok I see your reasoning on capital gains and profits. Not sure I buy the fact that you have been buying LFE knowing no divi any time soon. And you stating that market has started big correction.of course that hasn't materialized.
First 2 weeks of April the market corrected.. i did not say it was going to crash for a year...
AND the lifecos got thrown in the trash with the banks... which is also what i said. I have been buying and trading LCS and LFE since the Central banks finished jacking rates, and realized that the high rates ARE great for lifecos, not so much for the banks. But i also have said BK setup is good for those who like the banks , and think longterm....as the payout drops as the share price goes down, which makes it more sustainable than the likes of FTN and FFN. I do own FTN as they do have a pretty good weighting in MFC and SLF... and i like their yield at nearly 19% and the fact it is trading right at its NAV...
At any rate dont feel bad for me, I have doing allright the past few years...
