WEAK BUY

His model price is $17.65, a 65% upside. He owns a very small position in his US fund. His system is screaming that it's balance sheet is impaired. If you are a speculative investor, you could take a small position. They are the key to the job growth going forward. Need to lend again and get back into business.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 26/10.Down 22.29%.) This is a very Strong Screaming Buy in that you have to hold it for 3 or 4 years. Largest mortgagee in the US and housing is starting to stabilize.

COMMENT

(Caller would like to write covered calls.) Covered call writing success is largely tied to levels of volatility and this strategy is not as successful as it was years ago.

DON'T BUY

Been looking at the sector. Doesn’t own any banks in US. When sovereign debt concerns pass, housing market recovers, this sector will grow.

DON'T BUY

Not a fan of US banks. They’re not producing earnings and this is what stocks trade on.

DON'T BUY

Has had a hate on this one for quite some time. The big mess will take a long time to undo. Most US banks have so many derivatives that no one knows what their true value is.

BUY

Has not seen a lot of momentum in this stock recently. Has tremendous earnings power. Less than 2/3 of book value. Nothing is going to drive it in the short term but if you are long term you could own it.

BUY

Feels US financials relative to Cdn financials are a lot cheaper. Trading at tangible Book Value. Good opportunity for it to do much better. Good assets. Own all the deposits in the US. One of the largest credit card issuers globally.

DON'T BUY

Still too early to buy. You still have to wait at least another year or two to see how the mess plays out. All the big US banks are effectively black boxes and nobody really knows what their assets are or what they are worth. Their earnings are subject to re-statement if they find out if they’ve overvalued these complicated securities, which they still own.

BUY

A wonderful play on the recovery of the market and the economy. They have the ability to generate a tremendous earnings power.

COMMENT

This one is on his watch list. Canadian banks have moved up a tremendous distance and are not interesting. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Has struggled. Increase of dividend was turned down by the fed. They’ll eventually get it. Have a big wealth management area and stock markets are starting to percolate again but are losing on the real estate side.

DON'T BUY

This and CitiGroup (C-N) are the 2 banks that have struggled the most because of all the loan/loss provisions they had to deal with. Took on acquisitions that have not paid off yet.

TOP PICK

Still believes in this company. Canadian banks are trading at the higher end of their multiple range. 43% retail and the rest of investment banking and wealth management. Can make $2 per share, maybe $4. Great franchise.

BUY

It is difficult to know what is going on inside the company. He sold it in the spring of 2008. He would continue to hold it if you held it this long.
