So what happens if say, half the CBA depositors want their money back? Down goes the bank, unless the government steps up.
Not sure I want to invest in banks at this juncture. If the number of depositors who want to withdraw their money exceeds a critical level, they wont be paying no dividend.
Banks are a very risky proposition in this environment IMHO.
If you want dividends, stick to stuff that is actually needed when times are tough. Stuff like food, electricity etc.
