This baby is a golden longterm investment
The bank has a clean bill of health,
There are no ghosts in the closet,
Share buybacks are approved, but there is a BIG market for mortgages and loans these days.
The bank will probably direct money there first.
They have 500million in cash
They have 500million in backstop insurance
They have little reliance on cash deposits. (Big change from 2017)
All good!
But covid-19 virus is a bit of an unknown, so caution is King,
I am doing little nibbles here and there, and preparing a large pot of cash for some bottom feeding. SO to whoever is pushing the price down,....In the not so distant future, I will be saying thank you very much!!!

Another almost 10% down again. And now the Cdn gov't allowing banks to delay mort payments 6 months. This will no doubt affect HCG's profits in the coming two ERs. This sucker will be down to $5

The big banks can weather the storm better than HCG. They are more diversified. HCG only has a mort. business with a very low NIM. Regardless, every business ER will be affected in the next report.

100% agree. big banks are big for a reason. ER will be brutal for everyone, but its also going to be expected, so it is what it is i guess
