JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM)

Delivered another strong quarter. Their main strength came from their episodic businesses while asset management weren't as strong. That's why shares rolled over last week. It plunged today, but he'd still prefer MS or Wells Fargo.

Good time to start a position. More sensitive to investment banking. Not as sensitive to the yield curve as, let's say, a BAC. Reported yesterday, market was disappointed. A lot of the good news was already built in. The banks are nicely priced, good opportunity.

Like GS this morning, JPM shares fell down at the start of today's session because of negative market futures, then rebounded sharply. In this case, futures are a gift, offering a sweet buying opportunity.

JPM vs. Wells Fargo Has owned this for years and is her preferred US bank. Wait for a dip to add shares. She owned Wells Fargo years ago until problems with their sales practices arose. That's now behind them, but WF lost momentum and they need to prove to investors that they can gain market share.

It's a safe, solid choice, likely the best-run bank in the world under a superb CEO. There's still money to be made in the banks. JPM reports tomorrow. He wants to hear about their loan growth and net interest margins during this steeper yield curve. They've excelled in capital markets as SPACs continue to hum and he expects this to continue. They have many years of cost-cutting. BAC has slightly more upside, though.

Thinks of best business first, and then country second. His clients own National Bank, TD, RY, and JPM. Best banks with the best management teams. Jaime Dimon at JPM is the very best. In Canada, his favourite is always National, with smart acquisitions and growing in wealth management. All Canadian banks are under-levered. You have to be there.
