Canadian stocks dip, tracking declines in the U.S. as gains in metals and oil and gas sectors weren't enough to offset declines in tech, finance, and retail sectors.

When interest rates go down, it usually lightens the burden of defaults and encourages businesses  and consumers to borrow more, which could be a potential boost for Canada's Big Six banks ! $The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.CA)$ $Royal Bank of Canada (RY.CA)$ $Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.CA)$ $Bank of Montreal (BMO.CA)$ $Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.CA)$ $National Bank of Canada (NA.CA)$

$National Bank of Canada (NA.CA)$ National Bank of Canada is a no-brainer buy following the interest rate cut. Investors’ reception to Canadian Western Bank’s latest quarterly results was negative. However, income investors might not sell CWB due to its Dividend Aristocrat status. No big bank can match the 31-year dividend-growth streak.

Today is a good day!
Up on $Quebecor Inc (QBR.B.CA)$ , $National Bank of Canada (NA.CA)$ , $Canadian Utilities Ltd (CU.CA)$ , $The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.CA)$ , $Algoma Central Corp (ALC.CA)$ , and $TELUS Corp (T.CA)$ !

I hear so much about $Royal Bank of Canada (RY.CA)$ $The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.CA)$ $National Bank of Canada (NA.CA)$ (praise  ) and so much about $Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.CA)$ $Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.CA)$ (negative ) …
… but what about $Bank of Montreal (BMO.CA)$ ???
Do you like it? Do you own it? Thoughts?
Looks like a decent buy right now!!

Canadian Western Bank stock is, at best, a “hold” as both stocks of CWB and NA appear to be fairly valued. $Canadian Western Bank (CWB.CA)$ $National Bank of Canada (NA.CA)$

NA expects to make this acquisition pay in three years. Given their history of strong execution, we would not bet against them.
