RY
BUY
In a good up trend line. If it should drop below $33/34, the stock starts to fall below its 200 day moving average and you should get out.
HOLD
At a point in the trading cycle where banks are a little more out of favor than insurance companies.
BUY
One of their favorite banks. Has a great future and probably will be merged with another bank.

Likes the banks. Banks have had a big run. Keeping an eye out on the interest rates.

Positive on the banks.

Have done a tremendous job. Have an attractive and growing international franchise. Dividend. Also good on the retail side.

Banks are not cheap any more but still expects to see 10% upside from here to the end of the year. Low risk.

Performing very well. Good dividend. Expect Banks to trade higher.

Reported very good fourth-quarter profits. There will be a stock split. Doesn't see a tremendous upside move in the next month. Will continue to move as long as rates stay low.

It continues to lead the sector. They're doing very well with their growth in Canada and internationally. They are underweight financials as they prefer commodities at this point.
TOP PICK
Price motivated. Might get to mid $70's, with dividend you get 13-15%. Would be great value with alittle pull back. Low risk.
