TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 20/08. Down 29.9%.) Investment banking business is not going to go away. This is the kind of company that will become stronger, bigger and better as the market changes. Very well run company. Tops in mergers and acquisitions.

COMMENT
Has a nice series of higher highs and higher lows since November that you can use to recognize inflection points where behaviour is changing.

TOP PICK
Top Short Earnings are going to come down, but they are one of the survivors and have stayed out of the issues of sub-prime. They are a global company. They are one of the top 5.

COMMENT
Investment banking models are no longer going to be as profitable. Now must play by the commercial banking rules of only 9 or 10 times leverage. Would prefer Canadian commercial banks. Today's 24% drop is a reflection of short-term liquidation. It will survive but it is questionable if you will make much money over the next 4 to 5 years.

TOP PICK
Premier investment bank globally. Has stayed away from the mortgage issues. They will be able to grow their business a lot faster than anyone else. Trades at around 8.5X earnings. Management has done a great job on the risk side.

DON'T BUY
Was the best investment bank by a country mile. However expensive relative to the opportunities. Trading about 2X book value. There will be increased regulations on the investment banks and that will impact margins, especially on this one. Wait to see what the legislation will be and how regulated these companies will be.

BUY
Very good entry point. Only 17%-18% is Capital Market business. ROE averages about 20%.

TOP PICK
Because of the credit crunch a lot of these companies valuations have collapsed. This one is a premier investment bank and was not involved in the credit issues. Trading at 8X earnings. Beat estimates in their last quarterly numbers.
