DON'T BUY
Buys in small amounts and writes them out on covered calls at about $5 ahead. Good strategy? Risk profile is higher than what he would normally invest in. Poor performer. Although an investment bank, it is really a bank and he would prefer that it wasn’t.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 20/10, Down 34.59%) With problems in Europe, they are staying very cautious. They are not likely to in this kind of environment.
PARTIAL BUY
Has been hurt badly through the macro issues, the same as the US financials in general. The premier company in the investment banking business. Good time to start nibbling. Trading just a shade over BV.
TOP PICK
4.1% due Nov 3/15. With what is happening in the market and that financials have under preformed a lot, this one is trading from the spread and almost back to where it was during the crisis.
BUY
Trading below book and maybe a little above tangible book. Trading at 9X earnings. Likes the dynamics of the company. Consensus earnings is around $17 for 2012 and if you put a 10X multiple on that, a gives you a $170 stock.
DON'T BUY

Buying Calls? He doesn't like this stock. Chart shows it is in a bear market right now.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jun 24/10, Down 1.06%) Under the political eye of the world. A great franchise. Investment banking is not going away.
BUY
A key financial and you can’t have a bull market without financials. Have had 5 down corrections and is now back at a key support, which he believes will hold. Point and figure shows deep support last year and the stock and the sector should move higher.
BUY
Wants to be involved with US financials because ultimately they have to participate in a US recovery. It’s just a matter of timing. A lot of them have priced in the current environment and are trading at the lower end of their historical valuation. This one is more of an investment centred bank and will benefit from a healthy economy and an M & A cycle.
DON'T BUY
Not a bank but the chart shows just how sick the US financials are. Wouldn’t touch this.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 19/10. Up 5.87%.)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 14/10. Down 13.26%.) Still likes.
TOP PICK
Best global investment banking franchise. Competitive environment has been consolidated. Cheap at 8X earnings. 1% yield. With all their cash they’ll be doing buy-backs, M & A, etc so a lot of growth opportunity. Will make a lot of money when governments sell assts such as General Motors.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 29/09, Down 7%) It was a buy/write - sold calls so he only owned the stock for a month. Doesn’t like any of the financials right now. No earnings growth in Canada and US financials are still sick. A lot of the bull market is hidden because the financials are bringing the averages down.

TOP PICK
Best of breed. Best leverage to benefit from a recovering economy. Stock was depressed by all the bad press.
