Demetre: thanks for info. regarding Canadian banks. I am watching TD. They've got a good presence here in US. I especially like that they own a bunch of discount brokerages. Not so much because they've got these, but rather that they are embracing technology and they are aggressive in pursuing opportunities that they believe they see. I didn't know BMO owns Harris Bank. (I like Harris.) So, I'll watch BMO too. CIBC, I do not know at all. Sometimes, it takes an outsider to come into the USA to see and grasp opportunities that status-quo companies here just don't see or see-but ignore. Not saying that's necessarily so with USA banks, but it does seem to me that in some sense, Canadian banks are very aggressive (and maybe very astute) in seizing opportunities that they see here. So as an investor, I'd want an opportunity to consider riding with them. JMO. Paul S.
