WEAK BUY
Has been very disappointing. Complete loss of momentum. Has potential because people outside of Canada by it. Treat it as a trading stock. Prefers National Bank (NA-T).
HOLD
Missed their numbers last quarter so stock had a dip. Trying to make a push into a global banking entity by going into the US, which could have some execution risks but a brand name that is respected globally. Will probably go up 5%-10% over the next 12 months. You could Buy for the long-term.
TOP PICK
Has under performed the group. Stock came off because of a poor quarter in wholesale revenues. As Canada's largest bank it has a premier franchise in retail and wholesale banking. Well positioned to participate in the long economic growth that should follow. 3.8% yield.
HOLD
Banks in general didn’t do that well today, but this one was flat. Didn’t have that great a result recently. Is recommending a different bank today. If you want to hold it for the long term you will do fine.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 12/09. Up 28.46%.)
TOP PICK
4.93% Bond maturing July 16/25. A deposit note, which is right near the top of the capital structure. Very well run bank, well diversified and good balance sheet.
HOLD
6.821% maturing June 30/49 and callable June 30/18. Will probably be called in 2018 because this is a Tier 1 capital structure. This is a high-quality credit.
TRADE
RY preferred shares. Could sell at a premium, and he is going to re-examine but likely he will continue to hold them. Not a lot of upside in the short term, but there is only one way for them to go.
BUY
(Market Call Minute)
BUY
Sees this as flat in the next 6 months but you'll get your dividend but could be a little higher. Really depends on what happens in August or November with the Basil 3 G20 meeting.
HOLD
Premier Bank in Canada. Has come down a lot during the correction. 4% dividend yield.
TOP PICK
Missed on their earnings and the market overdid it. Has problems in the US, but everybody does. Operations in Canada are very strong. As recovery takes hold earnings and dividend will grow. Top-notch company, 25% cheaper than in April.
BUY
Missed its quarter saw analysts took their targets lower so the bank lost its premium royalty. Fairly good value here. 4% dividend yield. May be a soft quarter coming up.
BUY
You have to remember that while they had great earnings, a lot of this was coming from trading revenues. Much more reasonable pricing now for a long-term investor.
COMMENT
High yielding stocks are so attractive because of their yield that now is the time to start looking at them even though technically they don't look that hot. Dividend yield in excess of 4%. Good place to hide until September/October. As a seasonal investor this is not something he would do.
