You know in Canada, it's pretty simple,...Haha. You know in Canada, it's pretty simple, we have 6 banks, so its pretty easy to pick one. Down there, you've got like 7,000 of them. There should be consolidation due to increased oversight costs and regulation, so I'm want to buy a few that are solid businesses and hopefully will get taken out and, if not, grow above market rates. I've got a couple of guys I read who are big into these small banks, so I've been reading through some of their stuff and BOCH seems like a pretty good one, but I'm leaning towards taking a portfolio approach with these and buying 3-5. BOCH made money every year for the last 10 at least, even through the financial crisis and their numbers look good. <br /><br />Maybe you could take a trip up there ask for a construction loan and report back - looks like a pretty town!BB Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765452269851135232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-39212118825099566872014-10-16T20:34:18.578-07:002014-10-16T20:34:18.578-07:00Isn't that the Cartwrights place, The Ponderos...Isn't that the Cartwrights place, The Ponderosa Ranch?

This name has been trending down and it is becoming a value play at these levels, but that seems not to matter. Before we even think about buying this stock we need to hear the call and what GOOGL is seeing with the economy and advertising in the quarters to come. This stock usually moves around 5% to 10% after earnings. Below are the most important metrics a fundamental investor will want to watch closely for Google. Paid Click and Cost Per Click + growth = greater PE. We are big fans of this company for its competitive dominance, as Yahoo and Microsoft’s search business is really a joke.Telestar3dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360818063542717928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969366797834293153.post-49774996055095874222014-10-16T10:27:41.596-07:002014-10-16T10:27:41.596-07:00Sold half my position in Canadian investment compa...Sold half my position in Canadian investment company ELF.TO. Has held in well through this downturn and the value is not as high as it used to be, so basically raised cash to buy other stocks.<br /><br />I am trying to buy a couple of US small regional banks, but they are very thinly traded, so only partial fills so far. I think there are good opportunities in these small banks as the US economy improves and the banking industry consolidates. This will use about half the cash I raised.
