TD is poorly run. CEO should be canned. I can't believe he is still there. I sold my TD stock and hold only Royal now.
Can't go wrong with JPM-NTD is poorly run. CEO should be canned. I can't believe he is still there. I sold my TD stock and hold only Royal now.
bank stocks are boring for me but i wouldn't wait for a further drop ...right now is a good entry point from technical analysis viewpointAnyone else waiting for TD to drop below $70?... I have shares already, but their average cost are $93... Yikes.
so you're still in GICs ? told you, long term, just be in invested in the markets instead of trying to steal from the market (get in and out at the right times) ...that extra 2 to 5 percent ended being a lot higher in 2023 and 2024.Interesting, would you consider index funds right now? Seems a bit, risky buying in near the top, average returns on s&p is around 7-10% right? So all that risk for an extra 2-5% on the year vs GIC
Why short equity when you can hedge with puts? Theta decay? If you were short in 06 it was a tad early, similar to burry
Also, what you just described to Lehman is similar to the situation now, no? Also you mentioned TD could hedge risk, yet you said Lehman hedged risk but it ended up failing? I never read into Lehman, but you're saying they were short, curious why they didn't use securitized loans or CDS to hedge?
Right now I know plenty of people who got mortgages with minimum wage by moving their cash around a bit (which was taught by the bankers) in order to get approved for mortgages, can't say I know a bunch in default, except one who was foreclosed. Of course this was all at TD bank. Plenty of repo's
Believe me I won't be just allocating my money because a stranger said so online, but I am curious your thoughts considering you saw the 08 financial crisis in 06.
The smartest people I know (way wealthier than I will ever be) have only been buying GIC's/bonds.
It never did hit the $70 I was looking for.Bad day for shorts. Glad i initiated position at 75. Long term hold .
td is not gonna failCanadian banks have failed in the past. From what i know in the modern era depositors haven't lost funds, but shareholders have been wiped out.
Bank of BC.
Northland Bank.
yet the stock bouncedEven though they still have a great dividend, I dumped 3/4s of my position on TD. Ever since they got slammed in the US, I've watched their stock plummet here and I just couldn't take it anymore. It's not a loss, per se, but I would have liked to hold on and see a better rate of return, but I just don't see that happening for a long time.
Depends what you mean by fail.td is not gonna fail
lol none of those scenarios will happen ... even if you lose realised 75 percent (not gonna happen), that's on you for panic selling... this isn't a penny stockDepends what you mean by fail.
Fail can mean outright bankruptcy, shut the thuing down=type of thing,
or a recapitalization where shareholders and bondholders lose everything yet the banks operations continue,
or the same thing except bondholders dont lose,
or just a forced injection of all kinds of capital in return for an enormous dilution of the shares,
or a forced merger at very punishing terms.
Regardless, if I'm a shareholder, if I lose, like, 75% on something, good enough, that's a FAIL in my books!
Well, never say never in investing. I don't own and have never owned TD Bank.lol none of those scenarios will happen ... even if you lose realised 75 percent (not gonna happen), that's on you for panic selling... this isn't a penny stock
Yeah, it's a new year and all, so anything can happen in the short term.yet the stock bounced
ya high beta stocks ...td will be fineWell, never say never in investing. I don't own and have never owned TD Bank.
I was discussing what it might mean to be considered a fail.
There have been many, many stocks that have been down 75% where, in hindsight, investors wished they had sold rather than hung on.
yup it'll be fineYeah, it's a new year and all, so anything can happen in the short term.
I still hold a position and didn't lose on the sale, so I'm fine with my actions.
I like it when shorts are getting burned. I sold mine as I investd in POU for special dist.Until there’s a bailout like in the US 2008.
So so close to starting anew.![]()
