LIkes Royal. Increasing their dividend at 4%. Best personal and commercial franshise  in Canada. Have the best wealth management. Going forward earnings growth will be lack luster. Canada's lending environment is going to weaken which will hurt Royal. Dividend is safe and will likely increase. They will likely acquire more wealth management franchises or buy back stock.

Performance of the company on an operating basis over the last few quarters. They've been good at keeping their back logs at very high levels. But it may be that we are seeing those back logs are due to underbidding too aggressively, and the low margins we are seeing on these back logs may be the results of this. (He's speculating) He would have liked to have seen better operating performance.

GOLD: Gold has had a wild ride. This is due to three reasons: 1) Central bank sales and the potential bank sales out of Cyprus. 2) ETF sales, retail investors dumping ETFs for equities. 3) downgrade of central prominant investment banks.(ie. Goldman Sachs)

Bullion seems to have found a new floor. There has been a huge supply shock coming into the market. He is surprised that it has done as well as it has. There are buyers coming from the Asian markets.

Markets. CNBC (a finance TV Network) has been reported as having a lower viewership recently. He feels this is a good sign as it shows that in the States people are no longer watching or are interested in the market. A lot of the big US pension funds have moved out of the equity markets because of the volotility associated with them so when things are fixed there is a lot more potential for things to move on the upside.

That said, he doesn't think we are there yet. Have to wait for the governments of the world to stop supporting the economies, and for the interest rates to stabilize.  Three and a half trillion on the Federal Government balance sheet.

We are in a low interest rate environment and we have coordinated fiscal policy trying to stimulate economic growth and in the US create jobs.

He does mention that if there is real estate that could be monitized by development then it might make sense, but otherwise just financial engineering.
