PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Dec 3/09, Down 10%) Attractively priced right now. Getting a nice dividend right now.
BUY
Sometimes when companies report earnings and are the only ones in the group that disappoint, they get punished. That's the case with this bank. Great entry point and has the most potential for growth between now and the end of the year. Toronto Dominion (TD-T) is his favourite followed by this one.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Banks face new regulations at year-end. RY is the next one he would consider buying. 2 to 3 years it is a great purchase.
BUY
Missed earnings expectations. However broken down they missed on trading, the most volatile part of the business. Retail and wholesale have been doing very fine. Attractive price. Good dividend at 3.7%.
BUY
Took advantage of weakness in the US to buy banking assets on sale. Long term buy.
COMMENT
Didn’t they hedge against their FX losses? Yes, their hedging went against them. They made a call on the firing currency as a means to add to the banks profits and they were wrong.
WAIT
Would not be that comfortable with the financials. The first stop point is not too far away from where we are here.
DON'T BUY
We had a mixed bag of earnings. Banks were doing well in retail. Wholesale did not have a lot of IPOs. On a long-term basis. They are all selling on about 11 times forward earnings. Would prefer a different bank right now.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Usually it is strong from end of January until end of May. This year technicals are not so good. Technical breakdown caused it to break through support level. It is so over sold now that it is now due for a bit of a bounce over the next week or two. Next strength period is typically end of September to end of November.
WAIT
Very strong retail franchise and didn't get into too much trouble with regards to US businesses. Took advantage of opportunistic purchases in the US. Long-term, a good place to be. A little concerned about Cdn real estate market and would wait for a lower entry point.
HOLD
Preferred A perpetual shares. Preferreds are looking relatively cheap. Perpetual is tough as he thinks rates are going to rise. Have already fallen off when long bonds haven't. 6% yield equals an 8% tax equivalent.
BUY
Short term, stock may go lower because Canadian banks in general have been on such a great run and making key US acquisitions may slow their earnings growth. For a long-term Buy there aren't too many companies globally that are better run.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 12/09. Up 40.87%.) His favourite. Number of compelling reasons to own banks right now. Good dividend yields and you have a better option of getting better earnings/growth over the next few years.
HOLD
Some of the downside risks could be increased because of regulatory rules and changes on how they operate. This one has a great balance sheet. Chart shows at doing extremely well but wonders if there will be a bit of a pause in some of the banks.
COMMENT
Trades at about 13X earnings and 2X Book. Fully priced at this time. Expecting dividend increases this fall.
