BUY

Made a couple of very attractive acquisitions and going forward you are going to get a banking system that looks a lot more like the Canadian system. Bank of America is going to be one of the surviving 5 or 6. Don’t buy this if you think the US is headed for a depression, which he doesn’t feel.

TRADE

Still a lot of risk. It will end. Will be one of the survivors. Crummy earnings this week not a surprise.

TRADE

.8 times book. He is finally stopping saying that it is not a buy, but won’t say it IS a buy.

RISKY

They may emerge as THE dominant retailer, or they may have taken on too much risk.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) The Merrill Lynch deal is a very good one. One of the major US commercial banks that will not be allowed to go under.

BUY

One of the higher quality franchises in the US. Gaining deposits. A big mistake last year was the Acquisition of Countrywide. This bank will be a survivor. 8% yield may not be sustainable. Valuation on a book value level is at a trough level.

DON'T BUY

This one has been a relatively strong stock in the past few weeks. However, they are still faced with the problems of Countrywide. If there is another wave of doubt regarding the financials, every bank will be hit by it.

DON'T BUY

Outlook for US banks is not good. There is still more bad news to come. Expecting more write-offs of bad paper. This means they will be capital restrained and will have to raise capital.

DON'T BUY

If he was forced to pick one US financial, this would be okay but they bought countrywide and they took on a massive mortgage exposure. A relatively strong investment banking business. He would suggest you not buy any but if you had to, this would be a safe one to buy.

TOP PICK

This is a retail bank and retail banking is really great because it is cheap funding. Acquired Countrywide, which is a good franchise. Not involved in a great deal with investment banking.

COMMENT

In much better shape than many of the other US banks. It's starting to look like there might be a turn in financials.

PARTIAL BUY

Selling climaxed at huge volumes. The rally is very encouraging. A good short-term target would be about $39. Looking for resistance at $36.50. If it comes back to the $25 level it could stay there for a while. You could take a partial position and every time it moves up add more.

TOP PICK

Top Short Really a short on the whole financial sector. When the Fed stepped in the banks bounced back overly aggressive. Will probably go back and test the lower levels to around $23. At that point he would become a long-term purchaser. He likes this company for the long term though.

SELL

If you own, take advantage of this big bounce (covering of short selling) and Sell. US banks have further vulnerability.

DON'T BUY

One of the big banks that have walked into fewer sharp objects. Whenever you are in the middle of a credit crunch, you don’t know what’s in their balance sheet. Their Countrywide acquisition may have hidden problems. Dividend cut could be a possibility.
