PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 3/09. Up 54%.) Wouldn't chase this one at this price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 2/09. Up about 10%.) 4.58% Bond callable 2012. If he still owned it, he would be looking to get out of it now.
BUY
Expect banks to move higher over the long term. In the short term there could be backing and filling. Fantastic domestic franchise.
HOLD
Banks normally sell mortgages to the CMHC. Terrific bank. Number 3 on his list due to valuation. CIBC would be number 1 for new money.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Like all the other major banks, you should hold this one forever.
BUY
Likes the banks. This one looks really good and is very close to its all-time record highs of the $60 level. Getting near to this again. $60 will be a bit of the resistance point but there should be a couple of dollars left in this. Would be surprised to see a drop below $56.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 1/09. Up 26.15%.) 6.821% June 30, 2018 bonds yielding about 8% to maturity. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 9/09. Up 67.5% excluding dividends.) Had been way oversold.
WATCH
Banks have 2 periods of seasonality. One is from the end of October until the end of December, which is when the banks are reporting their 4th quarter results. The other period is from the end of February to the end of May. Watch for the sector to show bottoming action are on the end of this month.
