BUY

Was extremely negative on US banks for many years but has started to accumulate now. Thinks US economy is going to show more strength than what is expected. Us housing looks like it is getting close to a bottom, which is an important aspect for US banks. If you own you cols start averaging down.

HOLD

Expecting it to be in the mid to high teens by the end of the year, which gives you a decent return.

DON'T BUY

Stays away from the US financials. Sold out of S&P 500 index. It’s pretty tough to get a handle on tangible book. Prefers Royal TD or Scotia.

BUY

Has a model price of $20.10, an upside of 41%. Wouldn’t put his whole portfolio in this but would have selected US financials.

HOLD

C-N has a lot more potential and will move more quickly.

BUY

Really good prospects longer term. Great franchises. Has some headwinds. Very cheap at at about 1X tangible Book Value. Return on assets is low as the leverage has been really squeezed out of the stock. Long term could probably earn $2-$3 a share.

BUY

US banks are looking interesting and in a stringer market will start to look better.

DON'T BUY

Has interesting future. If you own, don’t average down. You’re better off with a Wells Fargo (WFC-N) or CitiGroup (C-N)

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.
