DON'T BUY

European exposure companies leave him leery. If he looks at companies such as banks, he looks for US banks because they are being re-capitalized and US is on the road to recovery.

BUY

It’s been a great company through a difficult time with a great balance sheet. But buying House Hold Finance really hurt them. They are getting out of these businesses and it is the right thing to do. Now it has good potential growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 7/11, Down 19.30%) is a bank that was not part of the debacle. Head office has moved from London to far east to show they are all about Asia.

BUY

One of the largest banks globally. Have done a great job. In restructuring, they made a bad US acquisition but are getting out of those businesses and concentrating on being a UK bank with a strong presence in emerging markets. Almost 5% yield.

BUY

Very large UK-based bank with most of their assets in Asia. Like many banks these days, it is trading at book at about 8X earnings. A cheap bank. Doing a lot of things to restructure. Going for things where they have a real advantage, which is in the emerging markets. 4.3% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/10. Up 6%.) Looking at selling their credit card business and getting back to their knitting. 3.8% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/10. Up 12.4%.) UK bank with a great Asian exposure as well as a big Latin America operation. Doing a major restructuring. 3.5% yield.

TOP PICK

World’s largest bank and is in 140 countries. Great yield of about 4%. Good security. Growth in all the right areas. Moved their headquarters to Hong Kong where the growth in capital is enormous. Well positioned to capitalize on world’s growth expansion.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Down 5.2%) Wants to buy more of HSBC.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Great global franchise in banking. Very good company and well run.

TOP PICK

The international bank that has done everything right. First bank to recognize their subprime problems and wrote them off. Cut dividends but only by 30%. Raised $20 billion US without government help because it has emerging market exposure. Cautious and conservative. 3.4% yield.

DON'T BUY

Purist global bank you will find. Closing some US branches, focused in Europe, strong presence in the Middle East and a very strong presence in Asia. Almost too diversified. Still not 100% sold on increasing weightings in banks.

TOP PICK

The #1 or #2 bank in China. Just moved their executive CEO from London to China. He is looking for a great explosion of growth in Asia. 2.8% yield.

HOLD

Bonds October 2011. Has been in the press lately regarding some of their assets and loans. Think they will make it through. The bonds are very solid investment grade.

HOLD

If you want something with Asian components but much better credit quality in the banking system, he would choose Standard Chartered Bank (STAN-LSE) on the London exchange. (Also listed in New York but he prefers British £, which is down 50% against US$ and 25% against the Cdn$.)
