Being acquired by Bank of America (BAC-N) through shares. If you own, take the shares. In a couple of years, it will be higher and in the meantime you'll get a decent yield.

This whole sector is dangerous. Its saviour is eventual U.S commercial bank transition to Canadian form (Citigroup owns big brokerage firm) There is further downside.

On a price to book basis got down to the level that it bottomed to in 1998. The big question that is overhanging everybody's mind is, what is the integrity of their balance sheet like. Thinks there is going to be a bloody battle on legal grounds.

They kicked out the CEO and he is waiting to see who the replacement is. Doesn't know why it is taking them so long. His model price is $93.54, a 46% positive differential. This is the June balance sheet so the $2 billion loss is not reflected. $61.50 would be an outright screaming Buy.
