TOP PICK
Not high growth, but growing faster than its competition. 22% growth in earnings over the next year. Well reserved against US problem loans. Could easily move up into the mid-$30’s. US economy is a lot stronger than people think.
DON'T BUY
Well run bank. Still has a lot of real estate exposure as well as a lot of exposure to the consumer. Has increased its dividend.
BUY
Tide in this sector is starting to change. Reported good revenues last week. Interest spreads were pretty flat which is pretty endemic of all banking. Will probably be the first US bank to raise dividends. Looks really good here.
DON'T BUY
Well managed US conservative bank. Pure retail b bank and not involved in investment banking. Hadn’t participated much in the mortgage excesses in the market. One negative is their huge exposure to California and the Western states where mortgage/housing market is still suffering.
TOP PICK
7.5% Preferred Share. (Can’t find the symbol for this preferred but the premium is about $1,000. New issue?) Good Risk/reward.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 17/09, Up 0.12%) Still holds, still likes and would buy at these prices.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/09. Down 0.21%.) Still likes.
DON'T BUY
Doesn’t own any US banks. The quality is inferior to Canadian banks. He thinks banks are a little ‘toppy’ both in US and Canada, but if you need to own a US bank, this is one of the best run.
DON'T BUY
One of the better banks in the US. One of the unknown questions on US banks is if they will suffer from the coming crash in commercial real estate. Came through the recent crisis better than any of their competitors.
TOP PICK
Acquisition of Wachovia was brilliant. Very reasonably priced and gave them an expanded distribution base. Extremely strong deposit base, which means cost of funds is going to go down. Extremely well run.
DON'T BUY
Good-looking chart. Real estate in the US is still a problem and has not been fixed. One area that still scares him is credit to consumers. There are too many easier places to make money.
DON'T BUY
One US big bank that was left standing after last year's crisis and managed its balance sheet better than the competition. A question as to what is off the balance sheet on US banks. This one seems to have been more open and transparent but they have a problem with real estate in their home territory. Would give US banks another year.
COMMENT
This is one of the banks that came through the banking crisis in relatively good shape. Didn't engage in a lot of the dubious practices of derivative securities and swaps. One of the better bets of the larger US banks.
COMMENT
Very well run bank. This is one of the US banks that he would look at and consider when he had little bit more confidence.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Wouldn't own any US banks at the moment but if he had to choose one this would be #1 or #2 on his list.
