High Expectations for Canadian Banks Is Unrealistic

First off to Seeking Alpha, the title of the article is not proper grammar; please revise.

To Chez,
Just as the sell off was overdone, the rally is overdone in Canadian banks. I would have alluded to all banks if I actually felt that way. I feel US banks offer better long term value still.

All your points are common knowledge and I was not disputing any of them except for the fact that I did not say that a 4.7% yield is unsustainable; just not as attractive as 7-9%. The point is, what has changed since the yields were 7%+, not much. I had as much confidence in the dividend then as I do now. These should be bought when fear is commonplace not when euphoria overshoots on the upside. Any return on investment in these slow growth entities has been diminished significantly since Feb-March.

The title should be changed. It is actually "bank dividends braking or gearing down" on my website.
