Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Matt Moran:
I don't recollect, Deputy, the precise timing or who that stockbroker was but if you look back from 2005-06, the bank's stock had re-rated. So, it used to trade at a discount to the market and, in 2007, had risen to a premium to the market and with that change, with that increase in value over time, a number of brokers then, at that stage in 2007 or 2008, but especially in 2007, changed their recommendation from a "buy" or a "strong buy" to a "hold" or a "sell".
