In January, my Scotiabank (BNS) Is A Terrible Long-Term Investment guest post was published at Dividend Power. My recent TD Bank (TD) guest post is now accessible at Dividend Power. In my opinion, TD is far more appealing than BNS from a total long-term investment return perspective. Furthermore, I deem TD's credit risk to be superior to that of BNS.
While many investors may question whether this is an appropriate time to invest in banks, I remind myself of the following words of advice from Howard Marks, the co-founder and co-chairman of Oaktree Capital Management, the largest investor in distressed securities worldwide.
'It's common for people to say "I'm going to wait until the dust has settled." But it is when the knives are falling and the people are most terrified that the best bargains are available - if you wait until the dust settles, the bargains are gone.'
I wish you much success on your journey to financial freedom!
