Richard Croft Allbanc Split Corp. II ALB-T BUY Apr 21, 2008

Kind of a complex product. Basket of 5 Canadian banks. They split the shares in 2 and provide a dividend. Basically a preferred share with about a 6% dividend yield. The capital share gives you a leveraged play on the banks plus any increase in the dividends that the banks will pay over time. Not sure that Canadian banks will do much in the way of increasing dividends over the next year but if you like the banks (he does) he would go from the capital shares to give you the capital gain.
