Bank of America (BAC) continues to position itself favorably within the banking sector, driven by deregulation and solid performance indicators. Experts have pointed out its impressive profit growth of 17% in the last quarter, indicating strong operational efficiency and guidance for continued upside potential. The bank benefits from improving net interest margins, a strengthening economy, and a favorable yield curve, despite facing some concerns regarding private debt and market fluctuations.

Citi, C
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 10/09. Down 26%.) Still likes. In the long term the US banking sector is slowly getting better. Steep yield curve in the US is helping them out. Cheap stock Low BV. Feels it is worth $40 to $50 in 5 years.
DON'T BUY
Still not keen on US banks or financials as a whole. Still have a threat of real estate issues hanging over them. Also facing a new stress test. Can’t see any growth.
BUY
Potentially has earnings power of $1.50 a share 2–3 years out, With a 13X or 14X multiple, it should be a pretty good rate of return.
WEAK BUY
Was more interesting in 2009. Will probably do well long term. Prefers Citigroup (C-N) even though it is riskier. Upside is far greater. You could also consider VIST Financial (VIST-Q) or Fidelity Southern (LION-Q), which are both Buys with the potential to double. Both pay dividends.
TOP PICK
Good value and will overcome their problems. Trades at about 60% of BVand 1X tangible Book Value. Good earning power and looking for $1.50 next year. Can earn $2-$3 a share on its current asset base.
SELL
Doesn't like US financials. Hoping for dividend growth in Canadian banks in the next year or two.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Nov 3/09 Down 23%) 6000 branches 11.9% of all deposits in the US. There are some issues but they have been saved already. It is very cheap.
COMMENT
Their current problems are an aftershock of the 2008 problems. We wont be talking about the foreclosure story in 3 months.
HOLD
Long term, you wont be disappointed in this investment. If you are over-weight, you should pare back. This is not a value pick, but a high performance bet.
WAIT
A victim of the concerns about foreclosure problem and the refunding that the major banks may have to do. Presents a great opportunity but there is still too much risk. Probably has earning power 2-3 years out of $2.50 a share. Wait for clarification.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 17/09. Up 2%.) Bought the stock and sold December $19 Call options.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Biggest, most under performing part of the market. Regulations and capital requirements are going to continue to hamper return on equity.
WAIT
True value play. Hedge funds are going long on the stock. Making a move to get out of M&A and focusing on their Merrill Lynch business. Countrywide is starting to show some life. If you own, put a Stop $2 below the current price. Would prefer JP Morgan (JPM-N) or Goldman Sachs (GS-N). Whole sector will have a tough quarter when reporting earnings so wait.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 1/09. Down 19%.) For him this is a longer-term thing. Expect increased dividends over the next little while. Made some very astute acquisitions and own 10% of all deposits in the US.
DON'T BUY
Chart shows it is falling and is bumping up against the 50-day moving average continuously. For the time being he would be very careful.
