COMMENT

Have done a wonderful job of building their business. Prefers Merill Lynch (MER-N). Dollar cost average when buying these stocks during this intense volatility.

DON'T BUY

Spinning off their Discovery credit card, which makes sense. Everybody's watching the investment bank industry to see if the sub prime mortgages affect their next quarters.

TOP PICK

Through all the sub-prime difficulties, brokerages have been hit. This one came out with huge earnings recently. His model price is $102.64, a 29% positive differential.

DON'T BUY

Brokerage stocks in general have led the market up. They have been a leading group, which is a reflection on a strong equity market. Last few days, they have led the market lower and looks like this will continue.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 21/05. Up 8%.) All the brokerages have announced huge record profits. Still sees value. He shows about a 40% positive differential from its current price.

BUY

Did a lot of restructuring which caused a drop in the stock last spring. Had been oversold. Feels that merger and acquisitions this year will be taking off which will create big revenues for them.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 20/05. Up 10%.) Still way mispriced. Has been the laggard in the US brokers. He has a 40% differential between the current price and the actual value.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 7/05. Up 8.5%.) Still likes it. His model price shows that there is a 50% upside in valuation.
