Likes the banks. BNS is #1 and the cheapest. Royal is the most expensive, but worth it because of their leadership.

Banks have outperformed so strongly they are over owned. Valuations are high.
TOP PICK
Most efficient of the Canadian Banks. Argentina problems are done. Retail branches are making money.

Banks are well positioned over the next two years. Rising interest rates will not affect banks like they did historically. Relatively cheap. Prefers BNS, Royal and TD.

Not a fan of banks. Expects continuing high loan loss provisions.

Increase in interest rates will put a squeeze on the banks. They are overvalued now.

Banks are going through some problems. Will be OK on a medium term. A solid bank.
