COMMENT
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 20/11. Up 2.59%.) Likes banks in general. Their trading in capital markets is a little hard to forecast. Likes that they are in wealth management, which is less sensitive to the capital markets. Increasing their dividends.

He likes this bank the best. Has one of the better franchises. Good growth opportunities going forward. 4% dividend looks very well covered and there are opportunities for it to go up.

TOP PICK
Pretty good valuation. Likes the banks as a group. Royal is the one that can grow the most from a normalizing world. Their wholesale earnings had improved a great deal and hopefully it will repeat going forward. Recent acquisition will be accretive and they got it a really good price.

COMMENT
Preferred Series T bonds maturing Aug/14? They don't actually mature on that date. This is actually a reset date. At that date, they have the right to Call them or reset the dividend at a spread over Canada's. With recent changes in bank regulations, he expects they will be called on that date. Trading at a premium. This will disappear over time. He likes them.

HOLD
Buy at around $53-$54 and selling at $57. Good strategy? The Buy price is reasonable but he is not strong on the strategy. A little nervous of banks generally because if you get European problems developing over the summer, it will affect Canadian banks.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 3/11, Up 2.05%) One of his favourite banks. One of 3 that he owns with good positions. They took steps to fix a lot of problems with their retail area in the US and that is done. Thinks earnings will approach $5 in the next couple of years. 3.9% dividend yield. Valuation is fair.

PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Mar 21/11, Up 0.50%) Still likes banks because they are oligopolies. Dividend comes out of the retail side of business. Expect dividend increases of 5-6% per year so you aren’t going to make a lot of money from them but are core positions for him.
