TOP PICK
3.18% due Nov 2/15. Financials under performing. (Subordinated, not the seniors.) Cdn banks have very strong footing. They have the option to roll over for another 5 years.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 27/10. Down 9.37%.)Has been a laggard among Canadian banks, primarily because of the volatility in their trading revenue. Their domestic franchise is very strong and posted pretty good earnings. Wealth management, long-term, is the right direction as demographics favour this. Yield of about 4.7%.

COMMENT
Last couple of earnings reports have disappointed the street. Trade at around 2X book. US strategy has failed. Have been impacted by being a beta for the global market. Doesn't expect it will do anything for the next 6 months. Needs the global markets to recover. This is a 2012-2013 story. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT
All banks are struggling but this one has been struggling more than others. Getting out of US retail banking was a positive. The dominant player in retail banking in Canada and are looking to grow the business in the capital market in trading. Have been making acquisitions recently in Europe.

DON'T BUY
As a GARP manager he doesn't see a lot of growth. There is a perceived risk globally of what is the Canadian exposure to the global issue of sovereign debt and other bank credits that they might own. Recruiting out of the US, they could have some debt and restructuring for the next few quarters.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 9/10. Down 3.86%.) Earnings were a little light, primarily because of lower margins. They are more geared towards capital markets, which was light on the trading side. Still a Hold.

DON'T BUY
Ranks 140 in his models. Earnings for their core business was down about 8%. Loan growth has been week. All banks will be challenged between now and the end of the year.

TOP PICK
Wait until we see earnings on Friday. Shed it’s US subsidiary, took a write down, but not a bad one. It was a millstone around the banks neck. It is cheap and dividend (4%) is good. As long as earnings don’t have nasty surprises.
