TOP PICK

Indian market has fallen about 50% and these shares have dropped 30%. Gives a tremendous opportunity. They are trading at a multiple similar to Canadian banks but are growing twice as fast. Very cheap price.

BUY

Profits are up 27% in the last quarter because of consumer driven loans/mortgage growth in India. A very good bank to own. Use a limit order in the $25.50/26.50 range and see what happens.

TOP PICK

If you want to be invested in an emerging market growth company, the best way to do it is through the bank. This gives you full exposure to the economy. Earnings just came out recently and earnings growth was very good. A very long-term hold.

WAIT

Had a high valuation. Globally, is probably at the highest it has ever been. Too expensive. With an emerging market, you can wait for a pullback before buying. From a long-term prospective, owning this is good.

BUY

Growing its earnings by about 20% a year. They are moving into other countries internationally were the Indian population is integrating to. Business in India is starting to grow also. A good long-term hold.

BUY

And Indian bank and has done quite well. Any bank in a developing world is a good place to be especially where there is good economic growth. Not cheap from a global perspective, but it has much higher growth than most of those banks.

BUY

The Indian market has been one of the best for the last couple of years. Long-term, the country looks pretty interesting. The bank is very well positioned. A fairly aggressive bank so a little more risky than some others. Focused more on retail. This may be a stock that you put away for 5 years.

TOP PICK

This is a great entry through one stock into the Indian market. The 2nd largest bank. With a growth in loans and mortgages it gets the economy going. Capital incomes are starting to rise in India. Growth rate is in the 20/30% range.

BUY

A good bank. Mainly based in India but are expanding out.

BUY

Very well run business. Gives you good global exposure.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 28/05. Up 10%.) Unlike Canadian banks, the profit growth in the last quarter was 31%, because the Indian economy is growing much faster than in Canada. Being in India gives good diversification in the financials.

BUY

His valuation on this stock is in the $30's. Their earnings in the last quarter were up 31%. Growth in loans and mortgages in India is rising. They issued new shares so they could bump up their peer 1capital ratio so the coiuld make more shares available off the New York exchange.

WEAK BUY

A very good Indian bank, but it has gone up a lot. If you are playing a merging market, a bankin industry is a good thing because it is global. From a global point of view, it is trading at a very high multiple, but from an Indian bank it is probably trading at a small discount. Doesn't pay as much of a dividend as some of the other banks.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A good bank. Growing very fast. Exposed to the retail market. Probably offers a pretty handsome long term proposition. If it pulled back, he woiuld take a good hard look at it.

DON'T BUY

You have to remember that you are investing in a bank in a developing country and the stock price could fall by 50%, so you have to have a longer term view. Trades at 18 X earnings and 4 X book which is not cheap. Yields about 1.5%.
