The reviews on Bank of Montreal (BMO) present a mix of optimism and caution. Experts highlight that BMO is benefiting from improving fundamentals, stable dividends, and a well-regulated Canadian banking sector. Several analysts commend the bank's diversified business lines and suggest it is technically sound, with good earnings and asset growth in wealth management.

RY
DON'T BUY
This one has been the worst performer. He is not a buyer of the banks at this time. Doesn't know if we are at the bottom or not. Not worth taking a gamble on yet.
COMMENT
In 3 years out you will make money because the valuations and returns on capital are decent at this point in time. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Royal (RY-T).
DON'T BUY
When you have a stock that has broken below the 200-day moving average and then starts to trend down and continues to be below the 200-day moving average, don't touch it.
TOP PICK
In technical analysis, one of the greatest observations is “selling climax”. This is where you have panic selling and then someone creating a Stop level where they feel value is.
SELL
Sell the stock here, no growth prospects ahead.
DON'T BUY
Attractive from a yield perspective, but very unattractive as a buy. Banks are still expensive. A they screen poorly, B not sure the values there. C We are going to be in a range on these bank stocks for some time.
WATCH
Believes there will still be some major hits in the financial market. Be very wary.
WATCH
Announcement from company is interesting on short term basis. They've forestalled having to take a right down immediately of 500 million. Could spring back a bit more. Would look hard at it.
DON'T BUY
Can’t trust management. Not interested. High dividend, which should remain.
SELL
(Caller has this in his RRSP.) Major disappointment. Yielding over 6%, which is a bit of a warning sign. If you own in an RRSP, she would consider diversifying into other financials such as Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) or Toronto Dominion (TD-T) which have shown abilities to weather this environment.
COMMENT
Stock has been in a downtrend for a year and it's very serious right now. From a technician's point of view, the uptrend has been broken and the Sell point was at about $63. There could be another climax approaching. There was a climax reversal in January and the financials did bounce, but unfortunately it wasn't over.
SELL
Recently sold his holdings. Had bought it because it was a low risk bank for value investors. It is not low risk. Keeps coming out with things they should not have been in. Disclosure is just being dribbled out.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) It's a Buy but be careful because there are some problems in here.
WAIT
They have to get through a few issues. Face potential write-downs of some assets. At some juncture, it's going to be a tremendous opportunity as the dividend yield is going to offer some basic support for the stock and he expects it is getting very close to that. He would prefer to wait and see what other issues there will be.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Thinks there is more bad news to come in all likelihood. The question is, how much.
