BUY

Has raised their dividend for the third time in 15 months. 2½/2¾% yield. If you buy and hold the banks, you should do well.

WEAK BUY

A little cautious on banks overall. Any merger is probably on the back burner of the present government. A more defensive bank. A good holding.

HOLD

Has a premium built-in because of consolidation expectations, so be prepared if this unravels. Expect an increase in dividends.

BUY

We like it. Like the outlook. Like what management is doing. Possible takeover.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Had a pretty spectacular year last year. Taking a bit of a pause here. Takeover speculation is getting built into the stock so it may be getting ahead of itself. Expects to see continued good earnings and the dividends should continue.

DON'T BUY

Selling at 50-year highs. Takeover rumors are again active, but doesn’t think it will happen. Wait for a big dip.

BUY

Prefers this bank as the moratorium on bank mergers is over in 2004 and this would be the bank that would be a takeover target.

HOLD

Doubt if they led by a takeover in 2004. Would prefer other banks.

HOLD

A more defensive holding. Prefers others with a better growth outlook. Getting a little expensive.

TOP PICK

Had a big jump in earnings per share. In the short term, they are being held back because of their big US exposure through Harris. Feels their earnings are understated. Expect to see more dividend increases.

DON'T BUY

Prefers Toronto Dominion as the prospects of profitability is greater.

BUY

A good bank and not high risk. A prime candidate for merger activity in the next 18/24 months. Good dividend income. Won't be the highest bank for a return.

DON'T BUY

Looks like it's about to break down its trend line. If it does, avoid.

BUY

Q: TD or BMO? TD has a clearer plan. Nice dividend and dividend growth.

WEAK BUY

Has delivered good results in the last little while. Doesn't have as much focus as Toronto Dominion or Bank of Nova Scotia.
