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.
TOP PICK
(Using this as an example.) He suggests writing bullish PUT spreads. Sells a $190 PUT obligates him to buy the stock at this price until Jan/08. Buys a $160 PUT in case he is wrong and the stock collapses and this gives him limited risk on the downside.
TOP PICK
Brokers have been severely hit. Great opportunity. Would also buy Lehman (LEH-N), Morgan Stanley (MS-N), Bear Stearns (BSC-N) and Merrill Lynch (MER-N). They are all raving buys here.
DON'T BUY
She has a Short on this stock because they are so involved in the privatization and private equity deals.
BUY
Has managed risk very well.
DON'T BUY
Did well in the past.
COMMENT
Caller - Which bank for RRSP, Goldman Sachs (GS-N) or Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T). If a more conservative bent with international exposure, he would opt for BNS. However, Goldman Sachs is one of the best investment banks and not hideously expensive, but can be volatile.
TOP PICK
Has been weak against the markets but broke out quite strongly today. This is a short-term buy.
BUY
Trades at a very low multiple relative to other major investment banks. As the best investment banking franchise in the world. One thing that buffers their earnings is their great asset management business.
TOP PICK
Best-performing group in earnings this quarter was financial services, specifically investment dealers. This is a play on asset management, global trading volumes and investment banking. Trades at 11 X earnings.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Has had a pretty nice uptrend from September. Would be inclined to wait for a pullback to about $179 before buying.
WAIT
Great company and incredibly well run and has had wonderful earnings over the last little while. 2006 was a good year for acquisitions and mergers but expectations may be too high for the next year. Wait for the 1st quarter to see if there is a pull back where you can buy the stock cheaper.
DON'T BUY
Trading around 11 X next year’s numbers and well below market’s expectation. Merger/acquisitions have been strong for the last 1.5 years. People’s expectations on earnings are too high and this will probably languish or come off.
