BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Likes the whole US banking sector.

DON'T BUY

He would not be at all interested in owning this one. The large money center banks in the US rely far too much on capital markets to fund themselves. In a period of relative stability, that is okay but this bank would really struggle on any stress in the banking system. Too much risk.

SELL
Had a reverse split, which is commonly followed by the stock trading at half of its original value. This happened in this case.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 3/11. Down 47.56%.) Had a 1 for 10 split. At the beginning of the year, he had a forecast that the US economy was doing fine. This was wrong and he sold shortly after.
WEAK BUY
Not looking to credit markets to raise money. There is some promise, but keep it in measure.
COMMENT
You don’t know what policy makers will come out with and how it will affect these types of companies and what will happen with Europe. He is neutral.
TOP PICK
Top Short Short. Sold down to $1, stayed below $5 for close to a year. Did a reverse split so institutions could own it. History of reverse splits is that it goes back to a previous low.
BUY
Has been light on financials, particularly US, but down here, you have more than discounted some of the worst situations. Valuations, relative to BV and earnings are discounting very bad news going forward.
COMMENT
Caller has a 2013 leap call option. This is a bet that in a couple of years, the stock will be significantly higher. Has hated this bank for many years because it has been such an overextended poorly run bank that expanded globally to be a global leader.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Apr 14/11, Down 9.09%) If you are going to get outsized returns you have to go where there is a block on the company. This one has one of the largest capital rations in the US (10%). They are the only American global bank with retail presence. As they reduce the bad assets by selling at book value, the earnings will improve because the losses from those assets will disappear.
DON'T BUY
Post sub prime, there was a little bit of a lift when most of them paid back their debt. Fundamentally, the financial system in the US is improving but the market is not paying a premium for this yet. US banks need a little more capital flow and loan growth.
DON'T BUY
You want to go into this one when the risk trade is on and we haven’t seen this at this point. Have been making some headway in building itself out internationally.
HOLD
Got killed because it did the consolidation from a $4 stock to a $40 one. Dumb thing to do. He is a bull on US banks. Every time there is negative news, they don’t make new lows. If you own, you will be well rewarded.
DON'T BUY
Did reverse split because many institutions can’t own stocks below $5 a share. There are years and years of problems to come with foreclosures. If housing prices keep going down, then this one will be punished. By valuation it looks very cheap.
DON'T BUY
Doing a reverse stock split, 1 for 10. Problem with this type of split is that a lot of people who previously owned 100 shares now only own 10, which is an odd lot. A lot of people do not like odd lots so end up selling them. It puts a cap on for a long period of time. Trending down with no indication of a bottom.
