Quote from IeatGoldmanSnax:
Canadian banks have taken a huge hit the past few days while the XLF was rammed to new highs. Do you and I have a different definition of divergence?
Almost zero huh? I remember that talk in 1999 and 2008. To say it's early, that's one thing, but to say there is a zero chance of a meltdown is just plain ignorant.
It is you that sound ignorant posting on things you obviously haven't researched at all. Do we really need to discuss the normal trading ranges of Canadian banks to illustrate this ?
Sorry, I'm not seeing a "huge hit" on Canadian banks. It doesn't exist. Not sure what you think you are seeing. For example, I just pulled up Royal Bank, the only bank that truly dropped significantly last two years ( from $61 to $44 ). Its at $62 today up 1.88%. I am very familiar with this equity. It normally struggles to stay above $60 for any length of time. So the real question is will this equity defy its norm and rally higher from here, or will it drop back again. Given you said there was a "huge hit", I thought maybe it had crossed under $60 today. No. Its rallying.
I HAVE researched these stocks over many years, That's why I posted. You don't know what you are talking about.
