BUY

If you take currency into consideration, this is not a bad entry point. On a multiple basis, senior US stocks are now cheaper than Canadian.

SELL

May be a problem on mortgages. It looks like the easy money for US banks has been made. He recently sold his banks.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 22/06. Down 6.2%.) Steady Eddy type of company. Has a lot of respect for management. Cheapest large-cap North American bank trading at 10 X 07 earnings and 9 X 08 earnings. 4.5% dividend.

BUY

Trading at a significant discount to Canadian banks. 4.4% dividend yield.

BUY

US banks had a hard time because of the sub prime mortgage situation. Chart shows a double bottom in March with a higher high. Technically it says the downturn is over for a while. You could enter now for a short-term trade.

BUY

Fantastic franchise. Has a high deposit market share. Concentrated on being a retail banker and wealth management. Lower multiples and higher yields than Canadian banks. Made some very astute acquisitions.

BUY

For a defensive and income oriented play, the financial services could be good. Has been beaten up. Yields about 4.5%. A lot of growth potential in the dividends. Trades at around 10 or 11 X earnings.

DON'T BUY

Not all that positive on any of the US banks. They all had some exposure to the sub-prime mortgage scandal.

BUY

Likes this bank. Have very little exposure to sub-prime mortgages.

BUY

Trades at 10 X earnings. Has a great franchise in every major state. Have made some very astute acquisitions in the last few years. Has probably been oversold and is a good buying opportunity.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 4/07. Down 6%.) Have raised their dividend every year for over 20 years. Trades at 9.5 X 08 earnings. Strategically well positioned. Cheapest big bank in North America.

HOLD

The financials in the US are doing well, particularly the brokerage stocks. However, we are at the top of the channel but the trend is still up. Would have a mental stop at $50.

BUY

He prefers US banks to Canadian ones. This one is the great model for a US bank. Growing very nicely and trading at a lower valuation. Expect to see a good dividend growth. Would actually prefer some of the investment banks or asset managements.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 22/06. Down 1.5%.) Have grown their dividends for 20 consecutive years. Trades at 11 X earnings. 4% dividend.

BUY

Great company. Good valuation.
