TOP PICK

Great brand that will be around for 7 or 10 years at least, trading at under 10 times earnings – its lowest in history. Even if we get default rates up to 7 or 8%, they will probably make $2 per share and then up to 3.50 or $4.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Dominant in their field. Valuation is more compelling than Visa (V-N) and MasterCard (MA-N).

COMMENT

US financials look cheap from an overall financial basis but you have to decide if it is going to be a core position. Not a pleasant environment even for this company. Loan losses are going up and their market is deteriorating. Great company and well run but in this environment you'll probably have to buy more at a lower rate.

BUY

Thinks American financials are probably oversold. Trading at a reasonable multiple of book value and earnings. As long you don't think they have some sort of hidden exposure to the credit markets, you're probably safe buying them.

DON'T BUY

For the short run, in all financial groups, there is a headwind and that is showing up in the share price. Well-run company, just not the right time to have financial exposure.

HOLD

Good asset in the American Express card. Pays a good dividend. Has the international and emerging-market play.

TOP PICK

The drop of $5 a share a few weeks ago was not an earnings related issue. It had spun out a company consisiting of its financial advisors. Earnings were quite good in the last report. Record profits. The caveat is if interest rates go up, it might constrict credit card use.

TOP PICK

A wonderfully well-managed company. It's in credit cards, but really in charge cards. It has competitive advantages to its model. They don't have to rent the brand such as Visa.

DON'T BUY

Their credit cards tend to be skewed towards business rather than consumers, so you should wait for business travel to pick up.

BUY

They have written off a lot of debts. Travel is down. A ling term hold.

PAST TOP PICK

(Was a top pick on Oct 16 up 16.5%) Still likes. Buying in the low 30's. Great global brand name.

BUY

This and J.P.Morgan looks better and cheaper than Citigroup.

BUY

Basically travel oriented. Should recover.

TOP PICK

Excellent price. Good chance to buy.
