DON'T BUY
The problem with US institutions is that they are large, leveraged entitles. There are so many assets of questionable value. There is so much uncertainty as to what assets on the balance sheet are worth that it is hard to get a comfort level as to what the true book value of these institutions is.
DON'T BUY
Have good international holdings. Thinks it will go up but are constantly de-risking themselves because US government owns them. Prefers others that are safer.
BUY
In the long term he thinks they will come back. Government ownership is going to start to dissolve away. From this level you can look at it as a trading position but thinks they will come back and start to deliver. Sees decent earnings growth this year and next.
DON'T BUY
Still a bit of a work in progress and doesn't feel it is time to go into it yet. US government at one time owned 36% of outstanding shares and they still own a lot of them.
DON'T BUY
Balance sheets of all US major banks are stronger than they were. Will be interesting to see impact of credit write-downs and provisions for bad loans. Major concern is another soft period in US housing. This would not be his choice because of their dependence on the capital market side of things.
DON'T BUY
Company will survive, but it will be a while before they start paying dividends again. Still have a lot of problems. This is not something he would own within the financial services sector. There are a lot better bets in the Canadian market.
BUY
Jan 2012 options. He doesn’t play options but he owns C-N. Lot of smart investors have put a lot of money into it and he is pleased to hold it. Could hold a lot of surprises.
DON'T BUY
U.S. Treasury sold over $1 billion worth of stocks. They do this when they think the price is right and will do it in a timely way over a long period of time. Not a fan of this bank is he can't see the drivers of their growth. (See Top Picks.)
DON'T BUY
Was on the verge of extinction not that long ago. Managed to survive with severe dilution. Wouldn't feel comfortable only in this one.
COMMENT
Bonds. Higher yields, but he tends to buy these 1 year and under because of the risk element. Would be careful.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn't buy. Doesn't pay a dividend and balance sheet is impossible to analyze. US economy has a lot of risks with housing and credit card losses. As a Risk trade it looks attractive and is too big to fail. A traders’ stock.
DON'T BUY
$5 is a very strong resistance point. Doesn’t like this stock. Not a great chart. If it hits $3.60 he would get out.
BUY
He has a model price of $6.53. US banks have to make money. When people get pessimistic, you have to Buy the dips and when they get overly optimistic you Sell.
DON'T BUY
US government still has to get out of the stock. The financial reform that is going on in the US will decrease the profitability that US banks will make in the future. If you want financial exposure, buy Canadian banks.
RISKY
Trades based on the market. Seems to be they are too big to fail. Has some good support in the $3.50 range. They are working hard at paying of the TARP. You could see $10 on the stock…
