HOLD

Improving economy will help. Good one to hold.

WEAK BUY

One of the lower risk banks. Banks are now having a tremendous amount of difficulty because of interest rates, concerns of domestic businesses and prospects for international businesses. Feels the banks are dead money for a while.

BUY

All the banks are cheap and this has a mid 20% upside.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Banks and insurance companies are trading around fair value. Banks are generally around 12 X estimated earnings and life companies around 13 X. This bank has the most clearly identified growth profile of all the Banks.

BUY

Well-run. Has significant operations globally. Earnings this year are extraordinarily good.

HOLD

Has reduced bank holdings in his portfolios due to concerns of rising interest rates. Increased dividends should mitigate this. Right now, it's as good as it gets for banks.

BUY

Also likes National Bank and Royal Bank.

TRADE

Banks are looking fairly cheap. Trading at 2 1/2 X book value. Probably not much upside potential from a merger perspective.

BUY

Not a huge fan of the banks in general because of the interest rate environment. This bank has been able to deliver better earnings growth, better international diversification and better cost controls.

TOP PICK

A ranking in bank stocks that have more than 20% differential between their model price and stock-price is #1 National #2 Bank of Nova Scotia #3 Royal Bank #4 Toronto Dominion. Loves any of these.

DON'T BUY

The banks are pulling back to a support which is good. On any rallies that occur, you should lighten up your bank shares. Could still have 5/6% downside.

BUY

Can see a 10/15% return in the next year. With a small interest rate increase, there should be margin expansion. Will be increasing dividends in the near-term.

BUY

The most dominant in the international arena.

BUY

This is their favorite of all the banks. Geographically well diversified.

BUY

Interest-rate increases will not have a big influence on Canadian banks. Selling has been overdone.
