PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 06/18, Up 8%) Banks have been a difficult sector to play. They can swing. Take money off the table.

BUY
What is a good entry point? - He owned it in the past. He likes it. The banks are a little less homogeneous than they used to be. They bought in the US a high end high net worth - Citi National. They beat in the quarter but it was a low quality beat as it was mainly from capital markets. Banks have lifted from the December lows but underperformed the market. Multiples are lows. The risk for reward is good. You can expect 10%.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 23/18, Up 14%) It is the best of the Canadian banks. We have not had any substantial, continued rises in rates. It has been difficult for them to do better. He has not sold any. He would still buy it.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 16/18, Up 16%) The Canadian banks have been recovering since December. RY-T is the dominant bank in the country. Overall, it has the scale to compete and has a good balance among its segments. He continues to recommend it.

TOP PICK
Their advantage is their scale for mass-market banking. They have been investing heavily in technology and new channels of distribution. A cautious holding to have. Yield 3.83% (Analysts’ price target is $109.26)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 04/18, Up 11%) He's happy with it. It's close to its all-time high and its latest quarterly was quite impressive even with GDP growth slowing--RY's earnings frew 7%, the best in its class. That's all organic growth without acquisitions. They had strong capital markets unit performance and so is their U.S. unit.

COMMENT
A US hedge fund manager is shorting this stock. His premise is that credit losses will increase and she expect that this and next year. He's really making a call on the Canadian economy, but she doesn't see the Canadia economy to go into recession or our housing market to implode. Recent laws have cushioned the latter, like tougher laws to obtain a mortage. Housing prices in Canada really have to collapse to hit the banks. There's more cushion in Canada than America. She owns 12% Canadian banks in her portfolios.

TOP PICK
Good place for yield. Largest company in Canada. Not going to have a lot of significant grief holding this one. Almost need it to balance out the portfolio and keep the cash flow coming in if you have a tough year. Doesn't think there will be a housing collapse. Yield is 3.98%. (Analysts’ price target is $109.26)

TOP PICK
The Canadian banks' multiples have contracted and now look attractive. RY grew their earnings 17% last year and the stock is up only 1%. They had that weird Q4 quarter, but they saw decent loan growth. They increased their dividend 9% and grown their book value. Payout ratio is 45%. They can increase their dividend and earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $109.65)

TOP PICK
The biggest Canadian bank and among the top 10 in the world. Boasts the top wealth management business in Canada. Also in insurance and investor services. Well-diversified by business and geography including America. Pays a 4% yield and 7% dividend growth rate. He foresees double-digit returns. (Analysts’ price target is $109.56)

TOP PICK
Canadian Banks as a group offer value here. Estimated P/E is 11x. Lots of levers. Business mix is very good. Great customer base. All in he is modeling 5% EPS growth for a name attractively priced. (Analysts’ price target is $108.78)
