WAIT
Is the premier investment bank in the world. Their ability to generate profits in the near future has evaporated. Investment banks are very highly leveraged, this bank isn’t as bad. A great company, one day it will be great again. Buy when there’s more stability in the market.
WEAK BUY
Is the highest quality of the bunch of financials. It could have a bounce here. The problem is they could have a short term bounce, but the earnings picture is not overly rosy. He says you could trade on the bounce but he's not going to...
BUY
Being hurt along with the other investment management businesses. Really doesn't have a large business in the capital markets area. About 70% of revenues and earnings come from proprietary trading activity, only 17% from capital markets. Trading at less than 10X earnings for 2008 and 7X for 2009. Trading at about 1.6 price to book.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 20/07. Down 20%.) He is short the financials. Uses ProSh UlShrt Financial E.T.F. (SKF-A), which goes up when the financial sector goes down. Spreads that brokers have to pay to borrow money have continued to widen.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 16/07. Down 11.7%.) Did pretty well in the subprime market and even made some money off it. A great reason to buy them. Unlike a lot of the other brokerages, it isn't built around M & A activities, underwriting and capital markets. 70% of their business comes from principal trading. Trading at about 7X earnings.
DON'T BUY
FMV has collapsed. Could be some legal problems down the road.
DON'T BUY
Has had a spectacular quarter, but in his opinion it is too much in favour. Trades at about 2.3X book, which is too high for him.
HOLD
This stock is right on his model price of $223.65. In the last few weeks he has had positive earnings revisions.
BUY
Has been hammered in the last 5 or 6 trading days. Paying a large bonus to their employees.
BUY
Has done very well and has actually bounced back from the August lows. There is lots of volatility in these companies. Good global franchise. There may be more downside but a good price.
BUY
They've escaped the subprime mess.
TOP PICK
trading at 2 times Bookvalue, thinks it could go to 2.7 times book.
SELL
Has been the biggest moneymaking machine in US financial services sector for a number of years. Expects this to continue. At the moment, it is probably getting in the higher risk area, back where it's old top was. Feels markets will start to weaken. If you own, take some profits.
BUY
The leading investment bank in terms of reputation and its ability to deliver earnings. Somewhat like a public hedge fund in the way it makes its money. All of these companies are under a cloud 1) will they be able to make money going forward and 2) will
SELL
Price/earnings ratio has been 8 to 9 times. The reason for this low ratio has been that so much of their profits came from either trading or the issuance of subprime paper, etc. Would be very cautious on this.
