BUY

US banks are looking interesting and in a stringer market will start to look better.

DON'T BUY

Has interesting future. If you own, don’t average down. You’re better off with a Wells Fargo (WFC-N) or CitiGroup (C-N)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 10/09. Down 26%.) Still likes. In the long term the US banking sector is slowly getting better. Steep yield curve in the US is helping them out. Cheap stock Low BV. Feels it is worth $40 to $50 in 5 years.

DON'T BUY

Still not keen on US banks or financials as a whole. Still have a threat of real estate issues hanging over them. Also facing a new stress test. Can’t see any growth.

BUY

Potentially has earnings power of $1.50 a share 2–3 years out, With a 13X or 14X multiple, it should be a pretty good rate of return.

WEAK BUY

Was more interesting in 2009. Will probably do well long term. Prefers Citigroup (C-N) even though it is riskier. Upside is far greater. You could also consider VIST Financial (VIST-Q) or Fidelity Southern (LION-Q), which are both Buys with the potential to double. Both pay dividends.

TOP PICK

Good value and will overcome their problems. Trades at about 60% of BVand 1X tangible Book Value. Good earning power and looking for $1.50 next year. Can earn $2-$3 a share on its current asset base.

SELL

Doesn't like US financials. Hoping for dividend growth in Canadian banks in the next year or two.

TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 3/09 Down 23%) 6000 branches 11.9% of all deposits in the US. There are some issues but they have been saved already. It is very cheap.

COMMENT

Their current problems are an aftershock of the 2008 problems. We wont be talking about the foreclosure story in 3 months.

HOLD

Long term, you wont be disappointed in this investment. If you are over-weight, you should pare back. This is not a value pick, but a high performance bet.

WAIT

A victim of the concerns about foreclosure problem and the refunding that the major banks may have to do. Presents a great opportunity but there is still too much risk. Probably has earning power 2-3 years out of $2.50 a share. Wait for clarification.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 17/09. Up 2%.) Bought the stock and sold December $19 Call options.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Biggest, most under performing part of the market. Regulations and capital requirements are going to continue to hamper return on equity.

WAIT

True value play. Hedge funds are going long on the stock. Making a move to get out of M&A and focusing on their Merrill Lynch business. Countrywide is starting to show some life. If you own, put a Stop $2 below the current price. Would prefer JP Morgan (JPM-N) or Goldman Sachs (GS-N). Whole sector will have a tough quarter when reporting earnings so wait.
