DON'T BUY

Doesn’t own any Spanish banks and doesn’t know why anyone would. The Spanish market has a tremendous amount of overcapacity. Spanish lenders say that the origination spreads on new loan production just keeps on compressing, which tells him there is absolutely no point in being involved.

DON'T BUY

Historically it has been a very, very well run bank. However, he would put it in the same category as the UK banks. Not the place to be right now. 5.6% yield may not be safe.

DON'T BUY

Cheap at 7.5-8 times earnings with a 5.6% yield. Probably one of the best run banks globally. Expense ratio is only about 42%. Half of its earnings come from emerging markets. The difficulty, it’s a Spanish bank and even though it’s well run, there is a big exposure to Spain and Portugal (25% of their earnings). (See Top Picks.)

WAIT

50% of revenues are coming from outside of Spain. Although stock price is down 40% (the same as Spanish index) you have to understand it is not where they are domiciled but where they are doing business. Doing very well in Mexico and South America. Wait to see what credit quality will look like among all the banks over the next couple of quarters.

HOLD

Actually made money in the last quarter. They were up $500 million US although they did take a hit on the Madoff situation, which caused a charge off of $300 million. Half their business is in Spain and the rest in Latin America. Although Latin America grew .5% last year is starting to slow. Dividends were reduced.

BUY

Good Buy right now. Compared to Canadian banks it is trading at about half the multiples and access to Mexico.

BUY

Earnings came or today and the profits were up 50% but mostly because of asset sales. Mexico and US are doing extremely well which should continue.

BUY

Most of their earnings are coming from Mexico which is doing very well right now. Getting near its all-time high, but can go higher.

BUY

Very bullish on this stock. A spanish bank. Investing in Mexico where there is growth. Still more upside with a good dividend.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 8/04. Down 8.7%.) In the midst of an acquisition in Italy which is why the stock has been going sideways for the last little while. Offers almost a 4% dividend yield. You get diversification into Spain, Mexico and South America.

TOP PICK

25% of their profit growth is coming from Mexico which is taking advantage of the cross border movement of funds between the US and Mexico. Outlook for Mexico is terrific as the GDP growth is greater than both the US and Canada. Good long term potential.

TOP PICK

Likes defensive names that produce good earnings growth. Showing extraordinary growth. 4% yield.

BUY

Increased the dividend by 20%.

BUY

2.5/3% dividends. What they lost in Argentina, they'll make up in Mexico.

BUY

Should continue to have a good growth rate. A 2.5% yield.
