TOP PICK
Think they have settled their issues with the SEC. Trades at 1.1X Book. Has one of the best investment banking franchises in the world.
TOP PICK
SEC charged them for misleading investors in a subprime mortgage product but settled this in far more advantageous terms than he expected. Trading at 1.2X Book versus historically 1.5 to 2X book.
TOP PICK
One of the largest investment banks globally. Known for taking a lot of risks in the proprietary banking side and will continue to do so. Trading at about 7X earnings with a little more than 1% yield.
BUY
Regulatory concerns are driving the stock down along with global credit concerns. Prefers other US financials such as Morgan Stanley (MS-N) that has a little less regulatory risk. Good entry point.
COMMENT
Trading at book value. They should come through their problems okay. The dominant franchise in the business. Will be punished with some sort of fine or settlement at some time but that is more than baked into the stock price right now. Expect earnings to grow at 15%-20% a year, which would give you a 60%-70% return over a couple of years.
SELL
Prefers to avoid a company with possible criminal charges against it. He would prefer to short it.
DON'T BUY
Risk of regulatory investigation.
BUY
With some of the SEC news out and perhaps more to come, prices dropped considerably and it is a good entry point. Trading under BV. Still sees good earnings growth with earning power of $16-$20 over the next year or so.
TOP PICK
Trades at 7X earnings and 6X next year's earnings. Earnings have gone up in the last little while even with all the regulatory issues. Great global franchise.
SELL
Had a wonderful run and then pulled back. You now have a falling stock and a falling 200-day moving average.
DON'T BUY
Don't buy stocks on the way down. Also, he believes in the cockroach theory in that there is never just one. He expects more things to come out on this company.
PAST TOP PICK

Report their earnings next week. J.P. Morgan (JPM-N) and this are the best of the breed.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 58.1% excluding dividends.) A lot of their competitors disappeared. Investment banking is not going away. Well capitalized.
