Definately agree. This is THE most attractive stock on the market at the moment. But, you can never pre-empt the market. There may still be more bad news to come out, and this always seems to fall more heavily on the financials, particularly merchant banks. Banks are reluctant to lend to other banks right now, and this will have some flow on affect on Macquarie. Whilst I'm saying the share price will be sluggish for the meantime, I don't doubt earnings growth will continue, maybe even grow strongly, given Mac's progress before the credit crisis became official.
