Good company really well run but all the banks are getting sold together.
In 6 months when the industry has let a few of the dry leaves fall off it will come in and scoop up some assets.
The Lehman Bros. rumour was not going to happen I don't think that is the type of purchase a cautious firm makes.

Will RY jump in and save a US Bank's day??
They were mentioned when Lehman was having a bad week. Unlikely to go there more likely a regional bank buyer Suntrust, BBT, Regionals or if you really really reached Wachovia?? All four of those are good companies in a rough market that may find themselves needing cash or having a stock price that is just so cheap RY can't resist since they have lost 65%+ from their highs.

As we continue to watch the banks here in The United States implode from the inside, I have been looking north for quite some time now to Canada for financial stocks that are actually worth owning. My favorite from the great white north is The Royal Bank Of Canada stock symbol ( RY ).
In my opinion this is one of the best, and safest picks out there in the financial sector right now. Not only is the Canadian dollar just killing the American dollar, but the subprime mess has hardly effected Canada, if anything it has actually help them. With the stronger dollar Cana...

The week in preview: Canadian banks in the earnings spotlight
The week in preview: Canadian and U.S. banks, and more
No More Phreakin
 Back when the selling was unrelenting a lot of people got very scared, there were very emotional comments left on this blog along with many other sites a I read. People felt (and maybe they still do) that stocks are a scam or don't work and that many stocks would be going to zero as this is "clearly" the second coming of the great depression or worse.
Throughout the ordeal, actually long before it started, I tried to brace myself, my firm's clients and blog readers for what could be coming. While I certainly got many details wrong the vast majority of truisms that I rely on and wrote about p...

It wasn't a big surprise today that it would be a down day. Everybody is selling first and asking questions later. Everybody wants that tiny quick profit. I was able to sell some Royal Bank (RY),...

In Canada you will find good, old-fashioned bankers
 The banking crisis is a nasty mess throughout most of the U.S. and Europe. Just recently Lloyds Banking Group PLC (NYSE: LYG) ceded 75% of its assets to the government of Britain, and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) closed at $1.05 on Monday. Let's not forget JP Morgan Chase & Company (NYSE: JPM) has $87.7 trillion dollars worth of outstanding OTC contracts as of September 30. JPM will not disclose how much of this is toxic.
However, it seems this is not the case everywhere. In Canada, for example, banks look healthier.<>Canada's banks have already taken big write-downs on their toxic securities. The...
