    Chass,
    I remain positive on the banks - my comparison is to the return on deposits which are pitiful. Buyers will return, especially overseas funds that have purged their holdings but decide to buy back when they believe the $A has bottomed.

    Having said that, had I known NAB was going to fall back to $28 I would have gladly sold for $34.50 and paid the CGT bill whch would have arrived rather too soon. Having the chance to buy back so quickly at what are reasonable prices is a surprise. It may go lower yet though.

    My focus is on longer term and dividends BUT it just goes to show you - losing the chance to book say $8.50 in capital gain to retain $1.80pa x 30/70 in franking can be false economy in these volatile times.
