COMMENT
A lot of headline risks. Stock could be cheaper over the next 2 months. If you own, you could Sell and then buy it back later but you could miss the risk of a turnaround.
COMMENT
One analyst says you shouldn’t be buying the market until you see the US banks starting to out perform on either an aggregate or relative basis. A negative has cropped up in that Paulson has pulled the banks that in order to get some federal help they will have to cut dividends, etc. If you own it, you could Hold.
DON'T BUY
Technically it is not bad as it has broken its long-term trend line and will probably bottom out sideways.US Financials: From a seasonal perspective they tend to go up halfway through December into the beginning of May because their year-end is the beginning of the calendar year and they tend to get rid of bad news and give a really positive forward look. This time, the banks haven't had much good news. Wouldn't go into this sector at this point.
HOLD
Big financial services stocks that have made it through this far are going to make it through. They are in a very enviable position strategically.
RISKY
Doesn’t think they will go to zero. They have a better source of finding that others, but not a stock for the faint of heart.
DON'T BUY
We need to look at what are the best in class banks that will service. He prefers Bank of America, as it makes a much more compelling validation.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) With the 4 massive failures, he would stay away.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Feels that under new management it will come back quite strongly.
DON'T BUY
Fate of the US financials is in the hands of the regulators, treasurer and federal reserve bank. This one is as well positioned as any of them to survive and thrive. There will be a drastic change in the regulatory regime so rapid earnings growth will be limited.
DON'T BUY
Like all the banks in the US, it faces the huge issue of the mortgage business. Banks take a long time to get out of the cycle.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 20/08. Down 27.7%.) There is an opportunity here but you have to be very cautious because of continuing volatility. Had recommended a Stop of $24.
DON'T BUY
6% yield. A drop in the stock price will increase the dividend and if it gets up to 8% or higher he would start to worry. This would not be his favourite company to invest in at this point. There are still a lot of challenges ahead.
COMMENT
This company has real issues and we haven't seen the end of the write-offs. Great franchise but there will be margin pressures going forward. There could be a bounce in it and if you own, look at it in Oct/Nov as a possible tax loss candidate.
COMMENT
Thinks they can earn $2.50 or $3 a share. Can be included in a well-diversified portfolio.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) On his watch list. Would like to see it come off some more before he would possibly buy into it. Likely to be a survivor. Good dividend. Could do well.
