BUY

Has 10% of the deposits in the US. Merrill Lynch will be a great deal for them in the longer term. Could probably make $4-$6 in the next 5 years.

COMMENT

At some point this will be an excellent buy. From a normalized earnings standpoint it can probably earn $3 a share. If and when it does, it will trade a lot higher than where it is now.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like getting into the US banks. Have already had a fair recovery from their extreme lows and there are still problems in the US financial pipeline.

TOP PICK

Been in and out of this one during the whole nightmare and has done well. Thinks it is now truly the Bank of America. Well capitalized. Losses are slowing down and mitigating.

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.
