International exposure is an advantage in this market. The weakness is more in the US then in the developing countries.

Canadian banks on a long term investment are great. They like TD, because they are the best at retail banking.Scotia Bank is the only bank in a position to profit from growth, all other Canadian banks are saturated. However Scotia is heavily invested in the automotive industry.Feels that Scotia is fine for a long term investment, but all Canadian banks will be treading water for the rest of the year.

Today was a warning shot across the bow of all interest sensitives, especially here in Canada. 14.7% positive differential.In a high interest rate environment, banks will struggle "a lot".In Bank of Nova Scotia, there is value, other banks in Canada there is now value.

Good international focus. Will always offer great growth opportunities going forward, but in the near-term, the Cdn$ may impact the stock. Long-term, a very good investment but short term would prefer others.

One of the better run banks in Canada. This would be his 2nd choice after Toronto Dominion (TD-T). All Canadian banks are very well-run.

Probably has the most international presence of all the banks. Have recently run into trouble with their Mexican subsidiary. For the near term, the shine is off this bank.

Just broke to an all-time high. Has 2 periods of seasonal strength. End of September to the end of December and end of February to the end of May. If you own, you may want to take some money off the table.
