HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Still sees plenty of upside.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
(Market Call Minute.) Buy in the low $50’s. The banks are in a consolidation phase.
SELL
Would not own too many banks. Would take profits. They have a huge US exposure and he prefers banks with less US exposure.
TOP PICK
Now that we are at normalized valuations for banks, this is the place to be. Attractive valuation. Extremely well positioned in the capital market. Good “buy and hold” blue-chip stock.
COMMENT
This is more the stable player in banks with the best of the consumer market. Worries are little about their US exposure. Feels banks are now fairly valued. Earnings growth will be slow because of dilution. Good dividends.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 5/09.) Doesn't own since he is managing a new fund. Still likes.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 14/09. Up 75.31%.) Still buy.
WAIT
Will be reporting in a few weeks and will know a lot more then as to how much loan loss provisions will be needed for the US operations.
BUY
Canadian banks have come through the crisis and this one is the leader. Dividend is secure and will start to grow again once they build up their capital. This would be his favourite play. 3.6% yield.
BUY
(Market Call Minute) One of his two favourite banks stocks.
COMMENT
Had a wonderful run off the bottom. All the banks are looking a little tired for the short-term and he has lightened his holdings little bit. 3.5% yield.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 10/08. Up 43%.) Buying Shares at about $41and Selling Call Options at $42.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Attention to detail is very good. Over a long-term you will be rewarded. Expect you could get it $3-$5 cheaper in the next few months.
BUY
Great company. Trading at a reasonable valuation. Earnings will continue to grow. Expect dividends will go higher in 2010.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 9/08. Up 16.71%.) RBC Capital Trust bonds Dec 31’13.
