BUY ON WEAKNESS

Get half your position now as it has come off the highs. Trades at about 10x earnings. Higher yield than Canadian Banks. He would only get this if he was full up on Canadian banks.

COMMENT

Has started to roll over. One of the better run US banks. Has good support at around $30. If it broke down through this, it will probably go down to $26.

TOP PICK

Trades at about 1.5X tangible book value but should trade at 2. As the US housing market continues healing, the mortgage books of the banks are going to get better. US GDP is 2% and could go to 3%.

HOLD

US banks are a “risk on” type of trade, highly leveraged to the economy. If you are long the stock, stay with it but just be aware that if the market does begin to weaken, this will be one of your 1st victims.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 12/11. Up 30.04%.) Could go quite a bit higher. Looking at the earnings potential they have a very large footprint in the US housing market and mortgage market. Has been consolidating while the rest of the market has been trading off the banking problems of J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs. 2.6% dividend.

TOP PICK

Dividend is safe. Difined pay out ratio is usually about 40% but regulators forced them to lower it. There is a sequence of dividend increases to come. It is a healthy business. A pure retail play.

TOP PICK
US economy is recovering and the housing market is stabilizing. This is the best in class bank in the US. Trades at around 1X Book. 2.6% dividend yield.
TOP PICK
Best in class. US Banking sector is turning around and housing market is stabilizing. Are well capitalized and a great management team. Trades around 1.5 times book value, Canadian banks trade about 2. Thinks it is the right company to own at this point.
DON'T BUY
Questions where the catalyst is. Reaction yesterday was puzzling so he would be very cautious.
TOP PICK
Has been a great bank in the US for many, many years. Has always traded at a premium to BV. Trades at 1.2X book. About 1.6% yield. Made a great acquisition with Wachovia. Expecting the housing market to turn around in the next little while.
BUY
He is warming up to US banks and for the first time has one as a top pick today. If he had to own a big bank, this would be the one because it is the best run of the big banks. They are not big in investment banking and brokerage, which is good. He is very warm to it. He prefers US regional banks to Canadian on a valuation basis.
TOP PICK
Super regional, well-run bank. Some of the US housing market is turning and stabilized. Has always being conservatively run. Payout ratio of about 16%-17%. Sees an opportunity for dividend growth eventually.
HOLD
As with all of the “too big to fail” US banks, you have to be concerned as to the outlook for the US housing market. Well run bank, but is still dependent on the housing market. Longer-term it will be a survivor.
COMMENT
One of the few US banks that is fairly close to where it was pre-2008-2009 crisis. One of the better conservatively managed banks. It is in the “too big to fail” category.
