Bank Of Nova Scotia Stock (BNS) Trades For 2014 Update

I started trading Bank of Nova Scotia Stock in February of 2014. Bank Of Nova Scotia Stock trades under the symbol BNS both on the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York. I trade BNS Stock only on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canadian Dollars.

In the last update, Bank Of Nova Scotia Stock comprised just under half of the capital in my Canadian Portfolio. That amount is now reduced to 31% of the portfolio. Still it is the largest holding in the portfolio and while the stock itself remains under pressure from investors, my trades are generating significant returns.

Since starting in February, returns are up 13%. All trades are now setup to protect the capital being used and yet profits continue to grow.

BNS Stock Trades To Consider Reviewing

There are 5 active trades ongoing in BNS Stock. They have all been adjusted and structured to earn the substantial dividend, generate more income and protect the capital being used. For members, the trades to review are December 5, September 24, September 12, September 2 and August 29.

Bank Of Nova Scotia Stock Decline

Since the summer months when the stock hit a new record high on July 31 of $74.93, BNS Stock has declined 12.6% as of Jan 2 2015. Part of the decline has been caused by investor concern over the Canadian Banks profit potential in general, as well as exposure to oil companies in Canada that will be affected by the decline in oil prices. Also the stock pulled back on the news in late 2014 that Bank of Nova Scotia would take a 500 million hit as a result of problems and layoffs at their Caribbean and Central America branches.

Accumulation has remained positive and steady but you can see in the chart that each decliune in the stock price has resulted in falling accumulation as investors remain more cautious with Bank of Nova Scotia versus the other big Canadian banks.
