National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited

So when I would ...

I'll say it's like there, there, there's not a one thing that Barita or JMB or NCB or Mayberry offer, you know? They offer many investment products.

So that those are people sending-

Exactly.

Um, Dala, of course.

NCB, Dala the new-

Yeah

... new kid on the block.

NCB and GK and GMMB.

Ah, GMMB.

Yeah.

... my, my full sneaky and not so sneaky list and reasons and everything at the, at, at, advanced guard this month, but, but, but I don't mind speaking here publicly I was what, what, what the non-obvi- what, what the obvious ones are.

but I, I just think that there are persons who, for example, are waiting for, um, and I use this example all the time.

There's nothing against these companies, but for example, there are persons who would have bought NCB at 225 and are still waiting.

Mm-hmm.

Right?

Yeah.

You're always buying from someone and always selling to somebody else.

So somebody who bought, again, NCB at 225 was thinking that it was heading to 300 or heading to somewhere else.

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, without going into too much depth as to how it's a golden thing, consider this.

Everybody know NCB is a big bad bank, right? How rich NCB is.

Right, right.

And you also know that the only reason NCB is that big is because they took the crown from Scotia, but they didn't really take it that long.

Scotia is right there beside them.

Yeah, them jack with them hard.

Scotiabank is really-

And in, in certain ways Scotia has a lot of the community that's at NCB.

And before we go to the break, let's take our poll question.

What should be JN Bank's top priority under its new Managing Director? So same question that we had last week for SCOTIA, sorry, for NCB.

A, better customer service.

B, stronger digital banking.

It fell just over 2% to close at $3.42 TT.

One Caribbean media was the week's biggest gainer, rising 11% to close at $1.68 TT.

And NCB Financial Group was the biggest loser, falling 7% to close at $3 TT.

Over in the U.S., the markets ended higher.

So we know, so we have to kind of get, you know, like a run of mothers where they put more, boss them, come stop.

You know? And all of them things there, right at NCB, right side of the clock.

So, you

almost had to go and study halfway through.

We've got techie investor sending greetings from Mobe and Ingrid is joining us from Bull Bay, St. Andrew.

Well, tonight we have a special treat for you because we have NCB Jamaica's new CEO, her first time on it taking stock.

She takes over at a pivotal time in banking.

This is a time when customers are worried about both customers and shareholders.

US shareholders are looking at dividend payments and what's going on with the NCB stock price.

You want stronger returns.

And so the lady who's in charge of NCB Jamaica, Sheree Martin, is joining us now.

Welcome to Taking Stock, Sheree.
