TOP PICK
CEO has done a great job. Returning lots of capital to shareholders. Trading at 75% of book value. Good opportunity, and limited downside. Yield is 2.69%. (Analysts’ price target is $83.60)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 03/18, Down 1%) Not as bullish on US financials. Has lightened up on the group. Financials generally like steepening yield curves. Likes Citi on its valuation. Management getting better. Compelling long-term hold. Quality + price = value.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 03/18, Down 0.4%) It's trading at a big discount to its book value, at 1x tangible book value vs. not only its peers but its own history. They've done everything right, like passing the stress test. They're buying back ($15.6 billion of shares last year), and pay a good dividend yield

DON'T BUY
If bond yields continue to slide in the US or globally, this sector will continue to feel pressure. Not good for Citibank. Now, though, valuations are good with US banks. It's good to have monetary easing pre-emptively (now) and not later helps US banks. Be very careful in this sector; there is unprecedented global debt.

TOP PICK
They just beat. Cheap name. Compelling on a price to growth basis. If Fed lowers, headwinds should become tailwinds. Play on the cycle lasting longer. Yield is 2.84%. (Analysts’ price target is $80.88)

BUY
BAC vs. Citigroup if a recession happens He owns both, but he prefers Citigroup, because it has a lower valuation, trading below tangible book value and pays a higher dividend. Citi is viewed as an international bank, whereas BAC is viewed as American. The upside is better at Citi in the coming years.

DON'T BUY
BAC vs. C. Citigroup has never fully dealt with financial crisis issues. He'd prefer BAC, as it's in a much better position on the retail side. He owns Goldman and Morgan Stanley. Whole sector is cheap because of interest rates and yield curve. Please don't buy stocks with only a 6-12 month time horizon. Mortgages are an issue, housing prices, if the economy softens. BAC is extremely well run, decent margins.

WAIT
Bank weakness more amplified in the US. Deep support around $56 range. A lot of indicators are oversold. Want to see a bit of a turn up. Down today around 5%, a big drop. Wait 2-3 days as a good rule of thumb to see if it's stabilized. Then you could put in a third, if you have a long-term commitment to it. Then another third 3 days after that.

BAC vs. JPM Driving US banks is a strong economy and flat yield curve. Unlike last year, bank movement now will be on a valuation basis. JPM trades at a 50% premium to book value, and BAC at book value, but Citibank (which he owns) trades at 70% book value and is narrowing that gap. Citi is his choice.
