re BLX - I understand that the dividend reduction (from 0.88$ to 0.6$) is a negative but compared to other banks they still look like champs. They had only one quarterly loss (Q4 2008) never had substantial credit losses, never diluted they shareholders and substantially reduced their leverage( it seems that the balance sheet shrunk by 30% relative to peak values,and they still do pay a dividend.

The South American owners seem to have done a better job looking after the minority shareholders than the management of most US banks.
