BUY

Has lots of opportunities to make acquisitions, increase dividends, etc. simply because they have excess capital.

BUY

Should have good growth.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 23/05. Up 1%.) Bank has done great, but the stock hasn't done anything for a year. A little undervalued at the moment.

BUY

Likes it a lot. Has a model price of $48.13, a 17% differential.

DON'T BUY

If there is a recession, this will hit the bank stocks. Always worried about the derivitives. Historically, Canadian bank stocks, over the last 5 years, performed better than any other bank stocks in the world. Expects the air to be let out of the balloon with a lot of dangers.

BUY

2 favourite banks are Bank of Nova Scotia and TD (TD-T). This is a good buying opportunity here. Likes its international diversification. Has been quietly and consitently investing abroad and very successfully. Could probably see 8/10% return.

BUY

Banking sector would be his favourite for the long term. The historical 10 year return for the banking sector was 13%. Would love the entry point to be a little lower, but not a long term place to be.

BUY

Likes all the Canadian banks. They have reserves greater than all the loans they have potentially identified as being bad. Solid balance sheets. They all trade around 12 X earnings. Dividend yields from about 2.5% to 3.5%. Getting paid more than you would on a GIC.

BUY

Likes the financial services. Doesn't seem to be involved in any of the Enron problems. The most international of the Canadian banks. Will be one of the banks that participates in any bank mergers. Well run.

DON'T BUY

Banks have been in an uptrend now for almost 30 months, they are running out of time.

BUY

Over the last couple of years, his model price has constantly moved up with all the banks. Pretty well likes all the banks except for the Commerce (CM-T). There's a buying opportunity.

BUY

Should not have Enron problems like the CIBC (CM-T) did. They have been focused on the consumer end of the business for a long time. A very profitable area of the market. One of the best banks.

BUY

Really well managed company. Recent management transition went very well. No large US expansion on the horizon for now. Seems to be going more internationally. Good long term growth strategy that he likes.

BUY

Financials have rallied because interest rates have stayed stable. The question is will bank stocks get cheaper when interst rates rise. Doesn't thinks so because they are still trading at reasonable valuations of 12/13 X earnings. You are still earning 3/4%.

BUY

Her 2 favourite banks are the TD (TD-T) and this one. If there is a bank merger, it is likely to be an acquisitor. Likes is international exposure.
