BAC
DON'T BUY
Prefers others since this is in an awkward situation as the things that made them lots of money previously, they no longer have the capacity to do that again. Not a big US retail bank but a New York retail bank.
DON'T BUY
He would rather not consider this one right now but would prefer Bank of America (BAC-N) instead.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Has been on fire lately but has pulled back a little. If you've made money Sell.
DON'T BUY
A long term, more speculative buy. Saw benefit of slow recovery in credit market. Her preference is to stay in Canada. No Yield so you are not being paid to wait.
DON'T BUY
Will probably go up but his problem is that it is basically a New York bank and doesn't have the power of a retail franchise, which gives a good return at very low cost of capital.
COMMENT
(See above comments on Bank of America.) This would be a little further down on the speculative chain from Bank of America. Just came out with a great quarter. Speculative.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Good speculative buy. Could see it going much higher.
DON'T BUY
A little too speculative for him. Can't see the continued upside from these levels.
DON'T BUY
US banking sector has seen the bottom. (He bought the US financial ETF (XLF-N) for the turnaround.) There are also some individual banks that look good. This one is a long shot. They have something like 30 billion shares outstanding so to move it $1 you have to move it $30 billion of market capitalization.
DON'T BUY
Almost 27% of the stock is still owned by the US government and if the government exits its position, it should be positive for the stock but who knows when that will happen. He would rather own the new leaders in that space such as Goldman Sachs (GS-N), J.P. Morgan (JPM-N) or Morgan Stanley (MS-N).
PARTIAL SELL
If they get the TARP payment paid than it is back to business as usual. All depends on what kind of recovery the US economy is going to make. If you own, consider taking some profits.
COMMENT
With a very long-term focus this may work out at these levels. Her preference in the financial sector is to stay in Canada, which has a better footing and faster recovery.
COMMENT
Very hard to put a value on this company. It has participated in a relief rally that is driven with the expectation of continuing low rates and the expectation that a solution is coming for the European problems.
COMMENT
Government still owns 30% of this bank. Still struggling to find itself. Has good upside if the US economy continues to turn around but there are better choices amongst financials.
TOP PICK
4.65% maturing 10/11/17. Investment grade A. Price is $86.43 yielding 7.18%. Wants to stay away from sharp bonds because rates could rise over the next year. On the other hand, doesn't have to go out 30 years for a 6%-7% yield.
