WEAK BUY
Big banks continue to be great positions. Stock split every 3-4 years.
TOP PICK
Focused most on international of all canadian banks. New deal $500 million to bank. Earnings will do well.
DON'T BUY
Doing extremely well. Its international operations are considered one of the best success stories. Prefers other companies.
DON'T BUY
A little reticent on the banks. The downward move in interest rates is pretty well over. Would buy insurance rather than a bank at this time.
BUY
Likes its combination of international diversification and strong retail operations.
BUY
Doesn't expect bank mergers until after the next election. Likes all the banks at this price.
BUY
A favourite. Earnings report tomorrow could be disappointing because of their international exposure. A good holding for the long term. Extremely well positioned.
BUY

Prefers over Old Dominion bank that is it has a safer outlook.
BUY
Expected to grow through its international operations as well as their retail franchise. Good solid dividend return.

At the higher end of their valuation.

Prefers this and Toronto Dominion Bank over Royal at this time.
