Morgan Stanley (MS) has received a generally positive outlook from various experts, showcasing its impressive performance and strategic growth. The company's wealth management division is highlighted as a strong performer, fueled by recent acquisitions and significant assets under management (AUM) of $5 trillion. Analysts anticipate a favorable quarter ahead, particularly with the resurgence of IPOs and capital market activities. While the stock has experienced some profit-taking, experts believe it remains a solid long-term core holding alongside other major U.S. banks. Moreover, MS is expected to benefit from the broader trends of rising interest rates and a bullish view of the financial markets, indicating a potentially prosperous future for the company.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 20/07. Down 71%.) His model price is $31.41. 128% upside.

BUY

One of two brokerage companies left. In the near term, business is a little uncertain for brokerages. Short term, business is still a little uncertain. Long term they will be big winners.

TOP PICK

Just bought half a position and will wait to see before buying the rest. The major US brokerage firms that are left have seen the worst. There is a good chance their assets will be re-valued upwards. When the market picks up again they'll get more than their share of business.

DON'T BUY

Best of the investment banks, which is why they are still standing. However the investment banking model, basically a leveraged balance sheet 30 times used to generate business, is not going to be there going forward. Now must play by the commercial banking rules, 9 or 10 times leverage. Would prefer Canadian commercial banks.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 20/07. Down 43%.) His model price is $67.71, a 74% positive differential. Thinks that this one will make it.

TOP PICK

His model price is $70.13, a positive differential of 62%. A very mispriced stock. If you are going to play financials, this is probably the one you should pick.

SELL

Not an appropriate time to own investment banks. Business has slowed down dramatically on stock trading and underwriting and a lot of them are stuck with a lot of bad paper. 2.7% dividend.

SELL

(Market Call Minute.) Not big on investment banking in the US right now.

BUY

This is the type of investment that he is looking for. All the investment bankers and investment brokers have been impacted from the credit crisis.

TOP PICK

The model price is $82.29, a 68% positive differential. When they reported earnings, all metrics on businesses they are in, they beat Goldman Sachs (GS-N). (Brokers are not easy to hold in this period!)

DON'T BUY

Never been big fans of brokerage firms. Wouldn’t be interested in owning at these low levels. They will probably go sideways for quite a while.

DON'T BUY

Never been big fans of brokerage firms. Wouldn’t be interested in owning at these low levels. They will probably go sideways for quite a while.

DON'T BUY

One of the biggest investment banks in the US and tied into the bad loans etc. There is also declining volume, underwriting and new issues are basically nonexistent.

TOP PICK

In the top 10 of his US Value 50 fund. All the large Brokers are cheap. There has been a slight decrease in earnings revisions. His model price is $83.89, an 87% positive differential.
