- and some are seeing this as a swipe at NAB, which paid a (reduced) dividend and then went ahead and raised capitalHowever, ANZ's chairman David Gonski said the decision to defer the payment was "not about our current financial position and ANZ has not received any concerns from [bank regulator] APRA regarding our level of capital". "The board agrees with the regulator's guidance that deferring a decision on the 2020 interim dividend is prudent given the present economic uncertainty and that making a decision at this time would not have been appropriate," he said.
One would assume WBC and NAB don't look much different.15 year chart below, ANZ has been a very ordinary investment - very ordinary, under performing and in fact impacting the broader indexes negatively.
15 years of sideways price action, i suppose one could blame the high dividend payout, and the failed expansion plans, mortgage saturation.

What is really funny is how they are always held up as the ones killing the pig, when in reality they dont outperform the index, bank bashing is just another soft target.NAB has been by far the worst, especially if you go back to around 2003 or so, before the forex scandal broke. that forex scandal was a major hit to their reputation i think, the disastrous foray into UK banking didn't help either. even looking back to 2006 and roughly eyeballing it, NAB seems to have performed worse than ANZ + WBC. their div payouts have been slightly higher though.
i remember back around 2004 that the NAB share price used to be higher than CBA (or at least jockeying with it), and look at them now. CBA is the clear outperformer of the big 4 since then.

Everyone hates the banks when they are doing well, which usually is when people are borrowing to speculate, then demand the banks cut them a lot of slack when everything turns to $hit.
It is very hard to run a business with that criterea.lol
Meanwhile the miners quitely strip the resources in ever increasing volumes and they are cheered on, it is a weird world we live in.
Everyone is more worried about what is happening in the U.S, than what is happening in Australia.
Most of them arent paying much of a dividend or no dividend, but they are allowing people not to make payments on loans.SP, the big four are financing their dividends through borrowing money from the RBA for free. That's no way to run a business.
SP, it was a great business model. I yelled from the mountain top to buy bank shares post GFC. Feb 2020 for the first time ever I and mMost of them arent paying much of a dividend or no dividend, but they are allowing people not to make payments on loans.
It isnt a business if they dont make money.
Extrapolating that out, the RBA and the government want to reduce interest rates, so the banks have to rsduce profits, but have to lend money, but if the rates are dropped they have to reduce them, but they have to offer fixed rates.
It is a weired business model, wish I hadnt bought in. Lol

Meanwhile the opposition forced a super profits tax on them, magic, power of the media yet again IMO.
Yes I think I will have to move out of the banks, but I still think they have to be the backbone of the retirement portfolio.SP, it was a great business model. I yelled from the mountain top to buy bank shares post GFC. Feb 2020 for the first time ever I and m
Nothing is forever. The river always flows. I wish I had given you shout when I came over to Perth earlier in the year. Next time.

At the end of the day, they really are the shop front for government fiscal policy, without them the government will struggle to control fiscal policy.
If that happens, then you dont have a government running your country, welcome to the third world borrowing money from shady sources.lol
Cant wait to see how welfare payments work out then.
I did want to sell out of 35% back when they were $30, the other half said no, I then suggested buying afterpay at $10 in March, when the forum started the thread, the other half said no.lolSP, it's not for me to call as I have been out of banks for a while and not looked at them for some time either, so my suggestion to you is to consider whether selling at the bottom is any wiser.
You know I hear you. Every time. I'm still listening to the Tchaikovsky Symphony 5 too. The way I see it if we can put clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet and feed ourselves an be happy (through art) then we can live. But we must have art and to have art we must love our environment for we were given only one world to live in and we must love that world beyond anything else, including money.I did want to sell out of 35% back when they were $30, the other half said no, I then suggested buying afterpay at $10 in March, when the forum started the thread, the other half said no.lol
But I have remained married for 44 years, so I havent lost half of my gains, but have retained half the losses.lol
Im still much better off than my parents were and still can help out the kids.
So true, everyone today is so busy being self indulgent, they dont appreciate that in the end all you have is memories of great times with loved ones and great friends, everything else was just a fleeting moment.You know I hear you.
