TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick Nov of22/06. Down 70%.) This is a great buying opportunity in the US financials. When things bottom out, he will be adding to his position. Expects to be buying in the next couple of weeks. Trades at 9X earnings. 5.7% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

Feels there is value elsewhere. This one hasn't come down enough for him. $36 would be of interest to him. His model prices $56.70, an 18% positive differential.

BUY

The risk is that the sub-prime risk isn't over, and there may be bigger exposures still to come. But with BAC the risk isn't huge. They will be getting all the problems (skeletons out of the closet) out right away. It will be a higher price a year from now.

BUY

These companies are hard to replicate in the Canadian market. Thinks it's interesting. Colgate Palmolive also. With the Canadian dollar high it's a chance to get into world class companies.

DON'T BUY

Wouldn't touch any US bank with a 10-foot pole.

HOLD

Long-term outlook is excellent, probably better than the short-term outlook. Right now it is caught in the vortex of what is going on in the US financial system with questions revolving around subprime debts and the ability of banks to finance their hold

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 22/06. Down 7%.) Largest domestic bank in the US market. Cheapest big bank in North America. The dividend. Trading at 9X 08 earnings.

BUY

4.5% yield. Thinks the sub prime concerns are overdone for most of the big financials in the US.

DON'T BUY

Would not be an owner of most US large cap banks because of valuations and exposure to sub-prime mortgages. Rising interest rate environment is also negative for banks.

TOP PICK

4.5% dividend. Good buying opportunity.

BUY

Quite a bit of value in this company right now. About 4.5% dividend yield. Trading at about 10 X earnings making it very cheap. Has a flat yield curve, which is a short-term phenomena.

TOP PICK

Well diversified. Has about 9% of the retail deposits in North America. Dividend yield of 4.5% and he is expecting an increase later this year. Trading at around 9 X forward earnings. Very little exposure to sub prime loans.

DON'T BUY

Not a big fan over most of the American Banks. Better valuations in other banks outside of North America. In Canada he prefers Bank of Montreal or National.

DON'T BUY

Too expensive, but cheaper than Canadian banks.

DON'T BUY

Not one of the stronger groups in the market, due to the quality of credit in the US. If going to the US market would rather go toward more of a global growth stock then the domestically owned names.
