PRU ATH 💪

Mate. There's like $1b in fire power each for PRU and B2Gold, then PDI wants a scrip bid.
I hope Perseus wins with cash + scrip bid

In the Financial Sector (i know you said banks but alas) - I own PRU, TROW, GS, MA, V, JPM, RF, SPGI, MCO, and BACX.
On a true bank playit's between JPM/GS. JPM may be a bit tied to Jamie Dimon but it's survived multiple generations, whereas GS has less of a CEO driven cult.
Longer term SPGI/MCO is a nice toll booth for debt, don't think that's going away anytime soon another good long term play with history.
V/MA, while under legislation pressure in Europe I don't believe are going anywhere and they're making service plays left right and center.
RF/PRU/TROW/BAC are yield plays for me and their investing thesis could be broken or acquired (BAC not withstanding).
