Trading on the BMO platform is the real crime

Dividends are paid out per share so if you have less shares it matters. So if you can buy more shares with the same amount of money it would be better. But yes I said unfortunately those banks only pay out quarterly so that is a downside, but it pays a consistent or increased dividend. Just look at BMO historical payout dividend and RBC’s dividend and their stock appreciation over the years. It might not be 10% but you’ll get it and if you want to drip into shares that could even be more beneficial

BMO Harris is Canadian bank that is up 71% over the last five years and it pays out a 3.37% dividend.

I hold BMO and it's up something like 30%

Why they do that? I was frauded over 18k on a stolen red binned vehicle and BMO started releasing the money when they shouldn't have

Oof, at least you weren't with BMO, they cucked me out of so much money. Literally froze my account for over a year after I made 1 trade.

The "big 5" banks in Canada (RBC, TD, BMO, Scotia, CIBC) are, by law, not allowed to fail. Canadian taxpayers will be forced to bail them out if there is ever a chance they might fail. Very safe investment.

Vindaloo6363

They are good stocks overall but there are some issues. Potentially with BMO US mod market and real estate exposure. TD id banned from growing their US business die to the money laundering issue. The US is obviously the big growth opportunity for all of them.

PaperHandsTheDip

They're among the safest in the world due to regulations in Canada. Here's a comparison to the S&P 500. SPY: \~86% CIBC: 131% RBC: 122% BMO: 84% TD: 78% Scotia: 46% They don't look too out of line anywhere to me. Some underperformed the S&P500, some overperformed, they are more or less inline with what I'd expect

Some winners that I rarely seen discussed here: * Planet Labs * BMO (Canadian bank) * Ralph Lauren * BlackRock * Citi * Capital One * Regional Bank ETF Bought them mostly when their sector is down. Like the banks when there was that banking crisis where people thought the whole system is crashing down due to 2 regional banks going under.

I can't find my Questrade data going back to September quickly, but I see my first buy in another account on Sep 10 for 0.86 (CAD), looks like BMO transaction history doesn't show the strike price unfortunately but I think it was $52 or $58.

Brubiu

I know ETORO isn't on here because it is dogshit, but I find it suspect that it pumped 10% on close today given that earnings is BMO on Monday. Unusual options volume too - put/call volume ratio for Friday was 0.09 with 1,584 calls traded at 40-45 strike. Diamond in the rough...especially since no one on WSB has mentioned it. Watch.

Big-Safe-2459

Contrarian to most: All my best picks came from my own observations and curiosity. All my losses came from my “advisor” who cited PE ratios a EBITDA numbers. Best picks and where / how I got them: On Queen St W in Toronto. A streetcar rolled by with a stunning ad for the brand new iMacs in all the colours. As a Mac user, I instantly saw the appeal and thought at that moment people will want a cool looking, intuitive, all-in-one computer at home and in offices. Bought that week. On a boardwalk. I saw a woman run past in yoga pants. I asked my wife who made those pants and she said Lululemon. I knew then and there that was money! Bought that week. At a beach. Some young kids were jumping off a rock and they kept yelling they had to post it on something called Instagram. Tried it out. Liked the app being a photographer myself. Bought FaceBook. Sold my LuLu after buying a shirt and having it fall apart and the org refuse to replace it. Also saw the kids move to cheaper alternatives. Sold my FB after discovering ETF’s in robotics and defence. Worst losses: Nortel as advised by my BMO expert as a blue chip no-brainer. Lost every penny. Same with some hyped buy called WiLan which fades to nothing. Stay curious. Eyes up.

NoOcelot

They've hovered around $20 M cash on hand for a few quarters, and they've been cash flow positive for about 4 quarters. Net income in 5 straight quarters now. They'll deploy cash towards paying down the BMO consortium loan and maintain cash position as is, IMO

BullBearBotBoss

Been watching two tickers on my screener that are flying completely under the radar, and both have earnings this week. Need some other eyes on this before I yolo my kid's college fund. **$PHIN (PHINIA Inc.) - Earnings TOMORROW (10/28) BMO** * **What they do:** Boring auto parts (fuel injection, etc.). BUT, the average car in the US is older than ever, so their aftermarket parts biz is printing. * **The Play:** Earnings tomorrow. Analysts keep raising EPS estimates. It has a low P/E/G of 0.53, which is regardedly cheap. * **The Kicker:** Short Interest is only \~7.6%, *but* **Days to Cover is over 9**. If they beat tomorrow and this thing pops, it's gonna take the shorts two full trading weeks to find their shares. Could get spicy. **$OPCH (Option Care Health) - Earnings 10/30 (Thursday)** * **What they do:** Home healthcare. They stick needles in people at their house. Boomer-friendly business. * **The Play:** This thing has been beaten down and is technically "oversold" (RSI at 21). Morgan Stanley just gave it an "Overweight" rating with a $35 target (it's at \~$28). * **The Kicker:** Options chain is showing way more call volume than put volume. Someone is betting on a beat. Has a history of beating EPS estimates for the last 4 quarters straight.

I thought it would pump after that $50 price atarget by BMO Analyst yesterday. No bad news should have come pumped this shit stock

likamuka

BMO Capital noted that U.S. equities usually gain after the Federal Reserve starts cutting rates. Since 1982, the S&P 500 posted positive returns in 8 of 10 cycles, averaging +10.4% over the following year. Outcomes, however, ranged from –23.9% to +32.1%, depending on whether cuts extended growth or failed to prevent recession.

Oof, ADBE got a lot of price target reductions post earnings.

BMO capital and BAC released notes on this. A Breakup of $GOOGL is not expected. Chrome will be kept within Alphabet. So most likely its going to be data sharing ruling or a injudction an apple payments - which will not have any impact on $GOOGL. Apple has no alternative on search and chrome is the best - users will just bypass safari and download chrome. Anyways, this is at 20 P/E and 16x FY26 P.E SO damn cheap! expect a re-rating to 25 P/E which should send this $250. SO many institutions loaded on $GOOGL aswell in the 180s-200s - this move isnt driven by retail. Billions are buying because it's going to WIn AI aswell due to its full stack. Check out nano-banana model. INSANE.

$BMO and $BNS? I swear they cant be doing well with Canada's current situation, and the lower Pop growth. But every earning they are like nope everything is fine.

Any thoughts on BMO?

ImakeBADinvestmentsx

Judge has hinted breaking up chrome might not be the best answer. So no divesture. BMO Capital has done analysis and spoken and said the same. BAC has agreed aswell as the current admin. Saying they dont want to break them up. PLus, how do you sell $GOOGL chrome to investors. If it's spun off - gets who owns it? current investors :) just under alphabet lol. no buy/sale as its out reach of govt.

💎 🔛 🤲: > PHOENIX - Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM), currently valued at $14.1 billion, announced on Tuesday that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $1 billion share repurchase program, replacing its current authorization which had approximately $143 million remaining. According to InvestingPro data, management has been consistently aggressive with share buybacks, supported by the company’s robust financial health score of 2.92 out of 5. > The specialty grocery retailer said the new buyback program was approved on August 13, 2025, and will allow the company to purchase shares on a discretionary basis through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. > The program has no expiration date and may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time, according to the company. Sprouts noted that its Board expects to periodically review the authorization to assess its continued appropriateness based on capital allocation priorities, market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. > “Our ongoing share repurchase program reflects our robust cash flow generation and our Board’s confidence in our strategy and the potential of our business,” said Curtis Valentine, chief financial officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. > Valentine added that the company is committed to delivering long-term value for investors by prioritizing investments for business growth while returning excess free cash flow to shareholders through the ongoing repurchase program. > Sprouts Farmers Market operates more than 450 stores across 24 states and employs approximately 35,000 people. The company specializes in fresh, natural, and organic food products. > The announcement was made in a press release statement issued by the company. > In other recent news, Sprouts Farmers Market reported impressive second-quarter 2025 results, surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company achieved an earnings per share of $1.35, beating the forecasted $1.23, and generated revenue of $2.2 billion, exceeding the anticipated $2.17 billion. UBS adjusted its price target for Sprouts Farmers Market to $180.00, citing supply chain impacts but maintaining a Neutral rating. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo upgraded the company’s stock rating from Equal Weight to Overweight, viewing recent stock pullbacks as buying opportunities. Barclays also upgraded Sprouts Farmers Market to Overweight, raising its price target to $185.00, highlighting the company’s steady growth outlook and incremental sales drivers. On the other hand, BMO Capital lowered its price target to $170.00, maintaining a Market Perform rating due to expected deceleration in comparable store sales growth. These developments reflect a mix of optimism and caution among analysts regarding Sprouts Farmers Market’s future performance.

I see that narrative a lot and it doesn't exactly give the full picture (to put it nicely.) SMCI went above and beyond standard business process to investigate any and all claims. An external board member was brought in to lead the team to honor EYs early recommendations. A team of forensic accountants from Secretariat Advisors, a few teams of some of the best attorneys in the world, and three of the biggest auditors in the world (Deloitte, EY and BMO) also reviewed the financials. The SEC also investigated. Several other US and global enforcement agencies also investigated them, Dell, and NVDA trying to track down NVDA's smuggled chips. They all immediately denied and were cleared in smuggling anything anywhere illegally. No material changes--not a single financial report was restated. No fraud found. Nothing came of the short seller claims they were doing anything with related parties, evading any export controls, etc. Turns out some smugglers were putting fake serial numbers on chips and SMCI, NVDA and Dell assisted authorities in sending a few to jail. FINALLY, the majority of these claims came from one single fired ex-employee's lawsuit that claims things like an employee performed additional job duties to deliver to customers in a year the company was 2Xing :) (separation of duties.) Another claim was that manual workarounds for an IT system weren't properly documented and they hired back employees as consultants a few years before without informing their newly hired auditor (EY) a few years later. Don't take my word for any of this. It's all in Edgar as the company has been transparent. Hope that helps give enough background for people to move on from such a tired, old, narrative.

After doing the safe thing (buying into voo, spy and so on) for a few months and finally seeing some progress, I made a mistake. Bought OPEN, lost ~20. Learned my lesson with, thankfully, a tenth of what my husband can bring home in a day. How do I maximize my recovery? What can I do to make sure this doesnt happen again? What else could I take up as someone new to managing an account for this kind of stuff? For further context, I had 300 in OPEN so it couldve gone worse. I put the reclaimed 280 into BMO.

armorabito

I have a margin account that I have never used, but I have used the LOC on my rental property. But my main strategy is to skim off profits of a stock that has had a 25% increase over my average buy-in, especially if it oversized or the future outlook has cooled. I will make exceptions on some stocks that I feel I cant buy back into, like Netflix, but this could change in the future if Netflix becomes an oversized position. I keep cash in a short term BMO bond fund ZUSFF @ 4.85% , pays monthly. I usually have 5% cash, and up to 25% prior to our glorious leaders independence day announcement the day after the fools day.

Anytime a pharma "growth story" starts to slow and there's nothing compelling in the pipeline for the immediate future, you see a re-rating to a degree that most investors aren't used to. You saw it with GILD in the mid 2010's after the Hep-C drugs started to slow - went from a hot stock to cratering and then taking 10 years to get back to prior highs. Moderna has round tripped all the way back to early 2020 levels. Novo's patent on semaglutide starts to expire in 2026. Giant generic pharma co Sandoz has already talked about the GLP-1 opportunity in generics. NVO's Cagrisema didn't get the reception hoped and given the nature of it it's more expensive to produce. So foreign markets will start to have generic competition starting next year and unless there's a v2.0 drug, they're going to face more competition beyond just LLY. There's been tons of posts about this company that act like nothing's wrong and yet they fired the CEO the other week. People keep saying tariffs and that's an issue but it's not the key issue here. This is what it looks like when a pharma/biotech growth story re-rates, time and time again. NVO got overdone to the downside in the 50's/60's, but it's going to take some considerable good news for a sustained move higher. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/eli-lilly-overtaking-novo-nordisk-diabetesobesity-market-analysts ("Eli Lilly is overtaking Novo Nordisk in the diabetes, obesity market: BMO analysts") https://www.pharmavoice.com/news/eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-compound-glp1-earnings/747046/ ("Lilly revealed in a first-quarter earnings report last week that it now has a 53% share of the GLP-1 market, overtaking Novo for the first time") https://qz.com/novo-nordisk-eli-lilly-ozempic-zepbound-weight-loss-1851782626 ('How Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk fell behind Eli Lilly in the weight loss drug race") https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/view-wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-ousts-ceo-competition-obesity-drug-market-heats-2025-05-16/ ("Novo Nordisk CEO's surprise exit after setbacks in weight-loss market: Reaction") https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/may/07/wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-cuts-profit-forecast (Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk cuts profit forecast as US prescriptions tail off: Slowdown will deepen concerns Denmark’s biggest company is losing market share to US rival Eli Lilly") etc etc etc. There have been posts for a few months now with people acting like the decline is 100% unjustified which is perplexing. It's a decent value in the low 60's, but people who buy it and expect it to moon tomorrow and completely rebound/re-emerge as the growth story it was a year ago are going to be disappointed.

Smart of you to think in terms of diversification, especially with macro uncertainty still in the air. If you’re already 50% into stocks/ETFs, the rest could go toward balancing out your overall exposure depending on your goals and risk tolerance. A few options to consider: **1. High-Interest Savings or GICs (Canadian equivalent to CDs):** Great for capital preservation. Not going to make you rich, but it’s stable and currently pays decent interest rates in Canada. **2. Bonds or bond ETFs:** You could look into a mix of government and corporate bonds—something like ZAG (BMO Aggregate Bond Index ETF) or XBB (iShares Core Canadian Universe Bond Index). These provide stability and income, especially if stocks get rocky. **3. REITs or real estate exposure:** Canadian REIT ETFs like ZRE or XRE give you exposure to real estate without needing to own physical property. If you’re open to the U.S. market, VNQ is a popular choice. **4. Alternative assets:** If you’re comfortable with a little more complexity, something like gold (physical or via ETFs like CGL) or even global infrastructure ETFs might be worth a look. These can behave differently than equities in downturns. **5. Cash for optionality:** If you’re really worried about a recession, holding some cash isn’t a bad move either. It gives you flexibility to buy in when/if valuations become more attractive. I’d just be careful about staying *too* defensive if your time horizon is long. Markets are forward-looking, and it’s easy to get stuck waiting for the "perfect" time to deploy capital that never comes.

per yahoo finance "The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is back within one percentage point of an all-time high. One of Wall Street's notorious bulls believes the benchmark index has plenty further to run this year. BMO Capital Markets chief investment strategist Brian Belski boosted his year-end target to 6,700 from a prior forecast of 6,100. Belski had previously reduced his forecast amid the tariff turmoil that tanked markets in April." you gotta be extra kind of special to change your targets so quickly without even seeing the impact of those tariffs.

(i) You're a Canadian (me too) but you're asking this on a sub which is mostly populated by U.S. investors. Your mileage, as they say, may vary from theirs. Check out some popular Canadian sources, like the Canadian Portfolio Manager blog, which I think is Jason Bender, or the videos from Ben Felix who works at PWL capital. Those resources are well regarded, although I don't look at them myself. (I'm old and my investments are in a pretty simple holding pattern.) (ii) Some experts recommend that Canadians have 20 or 30% home country bias, and I believe there's some data to support that. Many Canadians are internationally diversified, with allocations to Canadian, U.S., and international equities (and, if you like fixed income, a chunk of that). Canadians have an easy way to do that with the asset allocation ETFs from Vanguard or iShares or BMO-- e.g. XEQT or VGRO etc. Those are one-stop shopping, but they're not very exciting. (iii) If you're holding your investments in a taxable account, consider using the total return ETFs from Global X. They have considerable tax advantages. But at 23, I assume you're mostly using your TFSA. (iv) The bigger question is what's your investment horizon. At 23, that's usually not very long, and there's a good chance you'll need the money before you're 30. Think: tuition, living expenses, a move across country to take a new job, marriage, a car, and so on. All those things will drop on your head before you know it. The conventional wisdom is to keep your capital safe if that's the case. Consider putting a good-sized chunk of your money in safe fixed income-- GICs or a low-risk bond ETF.

$LULU Analysts ratings after earnings: Jefferies (Underperform, PT: $200) "1Q results came in mixed... Americas revenue grew just 3%... US trends remain weak... Banking on China isn't working... recommend selling shares and reiterate our Underperform rating." Goldman Sachs (Neutral, PT: $285) "This is a disappointing update... weaker comp trends suggest this was not enough to offset slower trends in the core business... slowdown in comp momentum in China and RoW... FY outlook now more fully de-risked... scope for momentum to modestly build into 2H." Citi (Neutral, PT: $270) "1Q was disappointing... China (+8% vs cons +18%) and ROW comps (+7% vs cons +15%) weak... newness not driving incremental traffic... inventory +23% raises concerns... We remain Neutral and still see a balanced risk/reward." BMO Capital (Market Perform, PT: $250) "...better GM partially offset by SG&A miss... 2Q guidance materially below... lowered FY GM and EPS... first FY EPS lowering at 1Q since FY14... strong, but overstretched brand... worry about long-term domestic revenue sizing." Piper Sandler (Neutral, PT: $270) "...beat 1Q25 sales and EPS by the smallest amount in 3 and 10 quarters respectively... international was a negative surprise... 2Q25 and FY25 EPS lowered on tariffs and markdowns... price increases 'modest in nature' raise red flags about relative maturity in the US."

which ratios? Their EPS is estimated at 13% going forward. Several analysts upped their price targets for CEG to $365 CFRA, $360 (Wolfe), $350 (UBS, BMO), $318 Citigroup. CEG just signed a  20-year power purchase agreement with META to supply nuclear energy from its Clinton Clean Energy facility in Illinois. CEG is worth watching & investing in - IMHO.

For the clueless who still haven't bothered to google. "Treasury's $16 billion auction of 20-year notes is met with lackluster demand Wednesday afternoon's sale of $16 billion in 20-year Treasury bonds produced below-average bidding by non-dealers. The auction was "lackluster" with a tail of 1.1 basis point and non-dealer bidding of 83.1%, which is below the 84.9% refunding-month average, according to BMO Capital Markets strategist Vail Hartman."

BMO has a pretty nice yield

How much of these institutions holding Tesla are passive institutional ownership (because of the index ETFs they offer clients) and how much is active institutional ownership (ie their investment team making active bets)? As for National Bank of Canada, despite their name, they are actually a Quebec-based regional bank, ranking outside Big 5 Canadian banks (RBC, TD, ScotiaBank, BMO, CIBC). So it’s likely their asset management division that’s holding shares.

Here's some I'm watching. I don't usually play the pennies (even though there are a few here), but Monday just means AMC (After market close) or BMO (before market open) reports. https://preview.redd.it/ujgzmp8had0f1.png?width=546&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dbc83ce546dfebd5e91610c5657239bc63536a4

Brian belski at BMO is def a wallstreetbets regard with an account. This guy is using bear and bull pride analogies. He might as well just say rainbow🌈

yovalord

I guess im confused at how/where. I mostly play it safe with VOO QQQ VTI and then a few individual stocks i don't put as much into like Nvidia, BMO, Apple, Tesla. I don't see a world where "playing it safe" in the market is going to start outpacing then 65k i make per year.

Tuesday’s U.S. debt auction showed that foreign investors held back from buying up 2-year Treasury notes, with demand from the category at a two-year low. The U.S. Treasury Department conducted an auction of $69 billion of two-year notes Tuesday afternoon.Investors accepted 3.795% as the highest yield on the note, 0.5 basis point higher than the yield before bidding. That suggests that overall, buyers had to be enticed to buy the government's debt by offering them higher rates. What was more telling was the foreign demand. A category called indirect bidders, which includes foreign central banks and private investors, lapped up 56.2% of the supply versus an average of 73%. This was the lowest indirects in 2 years, BMO Capital Markets say.

ELV pre announced earnings (similar business to UNH) and they expect to beat earnings estimate. They did, however, expand their Medicare Advantage enrollment… although they claim that it won’t be an issue for them (that’s the reason UNH dropped was costs associated with MA). Puts are imo too risky, so long as they don’t say anything dumb the stock goes up. General Motors has earnings on 4/29 BMO, considering grabbing puts as the guidance will be heavily dependent on raw materials & 🥭. Shorting Tesla seems like a bad move in general. American Airlines (AAL) looks like a good shorting opportunity, last quarter for them was embarrassing and I don’t see how the company can turn around now. Contrarily, LUV is in a slightly better spot than AAL, but I don’t see the benefit in playing their earnings. Intel is in a unique position as a semiconductor business, but tariffs for raw materials will make it difficult for the company to issue good guidance. The Google lawsuit is likely going to be a non-issue for earnings. The big mover for the week is probably a stock I didn’t mention tbh.

BMO - MARKET BOTTOM is in. Buy the dip.

Outrageous-Start7869

- TD.TSX : 20% of Portfolio and a great dividend play - MFC : 11% of Portfolio, have done well here thus far - BMO : 9% of Portfolio, again, a good steady dividend driver - ENB 8% of Port: Have for the long hold and DIV - BN : 8 % of Port : have seen some great returns here - a bunch of others (OKLO, VPT, etc. that I'm getting slashed on). ....now this is where I need the help. I currently own 6% XEQT, 4% VFV (Bought more yesterday). and 7% VDY......does it make sense to hold all these funds for the long term, or should I just consolidate into one and keep it cleaner? Thinking VFV if anything?

The **10-year Treasury** note auction appears to have gone very well, in a **bit of relief** for the market. Vail Hartman at BMO Capital Markets says it was “very strong”: >“Before the auction, 10-year notes were under pressure with yields just off the session peak of 4.51% and rates headed into 1 p.m. EST roughly 17 basis points higher on the day. Since the results, Treasuries have rallied in the follow-through.”
