  • ( ) Could U.S. bank dividend contagion spread north?

    This week's dividend cut at U.S. banking behemoth Citigroup raises a question relevant to widows, orphans and just about every other class of investor in this country.

    Could any of the big Canadian banks reduce their dividend? Business conditions for banks are worse in the United States than here, yet many of our bank stocks are trading at levels that suggest the highest level of risk in ages.

    Almost everyone in Canada owns bank stocks in one way or another, be it directly, through mutual funds or pension funds. The attraction: good share price gains over the years, but also a flow of dividends that has reliably risen over the years.

    It used to be that if we wanted to get something into a demonstration, we would have the women carry it in.

    Also different: The type of tear gas used today. I miss the old tear gas, which I love in a way. We used to catch it and throw back at the police. Now, the gas they use suffocates people instantly, so we fall down and are either trampled or arrested. We had someone analyze it its banned internationally and, of course, its made in the USA, he alleges.

    After a few years as a follower, Abu Eita found himself promoted by a kind of group consensus to leader.

    But nobody chooses anybody, he quickly adds. If a demonstration is split in half because of police intervention, someone has to take over. As students, we came up with many slogans that people later took up and repeated in the events of January 18 and 19, 1977, he says, referring to the demonstrations over rising prices (demonstrations that were themselves preludes to that years later protests against Sadats pledge to enter peace talks with Israel).
