DON'T BUY
Poster child of a lot that went wrong in the US banking sector. The whole US banking sector is a place you might want to dip your toe but this one represents a speculative buy. (See Top Picks.)
DON'T BUY
It is the walking dead. On a valuation basis, the stock is not cheap. Not well run. High leveraged. If he were looking for a US bank, which he is not, he would want a Wells Fargo or JP Morgan or US bankcorp. This would be speculative.
DON'T BUY
Complex balance sheet. A lot of outstanding credit issues. Over the long term it will probably be a survivor, however.
DON'T BUY
Huge sell off from $55 to $2. It is starting to base build. There is some belief that around $2.50 there is some support. Recommends some Canadian banks.
DON'T BUY
Doesn’t own US stocks. Nervous about earnings. He is worried that the Canadian dollar will go much higher. There are problems with credit card debt.
SELL
(Market Call Minute) Better off buying others.
DON'T BUY
Prefers Bank of America (BAC-N), which has a lot less dilution. You'll probably make money on this one but with a lot more risk.
DON'T BUY
A lot of issues they have to sort out. Will be very hard for them to turn around.
DON'T BUY
Running a little more risk than with others in this space. Have been heavily diluted. US banks as a whole have the wind at their back with the steep yield curve.
DON'T BUY
Repaid Tarp late last year but US government still owns about 1/3. When government start selling off their holdings, it will make them make dilutive. Wait until the government has stepped aside. Would be a longer-term play on housing, credit cycle and credit card commercial debt. No yield.
DON'T BUY
Not a big fan of financials. From September on, earnings quality and earnings growth became the most important things and financials in general are going to have a hard time generating ROE that people are used to. Dilution because of new issues, tough new regulations, diluted trading revenues could create a contraction in earnings multiples.
DON'T BUY
If they can pay TARP back and get going again there could be tremendous moves as money starts moving back in. Once the balance sheet is cleaned up they have tremendous ability to make money. Prefers emerging-market banks instead because there are too many skeletons in the closet.
DON'T BUY
An aggressive play. If you are really bullish on the markets and financials in general, this could give your best return but is subject to large dilution. More difficult turnaround for this one. Has a higher cost structure embedded in it.
DON'T BUY
Would not want to own this one at this point. Expected to make $.10 next year. Trading at 34.5X PE, which is too rich.
DON'T BUY
City holdings has a significant asset portfolio which is unknown. Gov’t still owns 1/3’rd and will decrease it. It has strong earnings power. Once you remove the overhang, it has potential to move in the right direction, but he wants more cash flow and more predictability in the assets.
