DON'T BUY

Still some pretty significant risks in the US financial system with exposure to the housing market.

SELL

This is a long-term hold and maybe a short-term sell. Not enamored of most US banks. Still a lot of issues that they face in terms of default risks/credit risks.

DON'T BUY

Now have a new CEO. Will probably return to profit next year. The stock is still highly levered to the consumer and there is still 10% unemployment in the US. Would prefer investment banks instead.

TOP PICK

Has potential to generate a lot of earnings, probably $4-$5 a share. Using a simple multiple of 10X earnings gives you a $40-$50 stock in the next 4 to 5 years. Acquisitions they made were good.

SELL

Sold out. Would not want to touch any of the US banks right now. You can do better with Canadian banks. National is his pick.

DON'T BUY

Federal government loaned them $45 billion and require them to keep the dividend at $.01 a quarter for 3 years unless they repay the loan. Tangible book value is around $15 so this is not cheap. There are better alternatives.

DON'T BUY

Have very grave concerns for US financials right now.

TOP PICK

Still likes it. Has strong retail banking, investment banking and mortgage business. Great assets. Making them all work together would be the big issue. They can generate incredible EPS when things are working well.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 27/08, Down 2 %) Likes it and it is still a top pick. Potential for profitability is high.

DON'T BUY

There are a lot of off-balance sheet items that are hard to fathom. Thinks this one will be a survivor. There are safer bets.

SELL

(Market Call Minute) It’s had enough run and needs to prove itself.

DON'T BUY

This is a gamble on what the government will do on dilatation. They could be bailed out by the government again. Why bother when you can buy Canadian Banks. It’s not a buy, but a trade.

DON'T BUY

Not huge fans of us financial companies. Shill thinks there are problems that are going to unfold. Their leverage ratios have had to come down dramatically. Severe dilution and being forced to raise equity at prices they never dreamed of.

DON'T BUY

There are assets on the books of these banks that may or may not be worth what they are listed at. He looks at banks now and asks where the dividend growth will come from.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 23/08. Down 22.7%.) Yield curve is very steep by borrowing short and buying US treasuries. Interest margins have come down aggressively over the last 10-15 years and margins are going to go up because pricing is more realistic. This is a by for the next 4-5 years but you can wait for a pullback before buying.
