Orrrrrrrrrrr, POSSIBLY, the Majors have shown the former will possibly shortly show gains? (Or, there is a reason that BEN hasn't!).I'm not sure who would buy out BEN. The majors have been told to leave the regional banks alone, unless they get into serious trouble that is, when I guess it would be approved!
So that leaves the likes of Bank of Q or SUN. Possible, but neither of them are in a strong position at present.
BEN's bad debt charge was up almost 400%, indicating that they're not immune to the problems of the big four. At the same time, they don't have the credit ratings and funding advantages of the majors. I prefer the latter whose SP's have shown good gains recently.
Been reading the following article in the Age today: http://www.theage.com.au/business/franchise-bank-model-turns-sour-20110513-1em6w.html
Regardless of the content - I was just thinking, as these branches are listed on the BSX - does that mean anyone can just buy into a branch?
For instance, I'm not living in Kew East, but they're listed: http://www.bsx.com.au/markets_pricesresearch_tra.asp?security=56
A single investor could theoretically buy a whole branch?!?
