Royal Bank of Canada (RY) stands out as a premier financial institution and is often regarded as the top choice among Canadian banks. Analysts praise its robust capital markets and wealth management divisions, which continue to thrive amidst a generally positive outlook for the Canadian economy. The bank's recent performance showcases substantial earnings growth, driven by favorable regulatory conditions and reduced loan loss provisions. However, a consensus emerges regarding the stock's high valuation relative to historical averages, prompting some experts to recommend caution in new investments. Despite these valuation concerns, many experts affirm RY's stability and strong dividend growth potential, indicating it remains a solid long-term hold for investors.

COMMENT
He bought about a month ago and has been selling over the last 2 weeks. Financials had a pretty good run off the bottom. 2nd quarter earnings are coming up in the next couple of weeks and he wants to stand back and let the normal seasonal effects take hold.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has pulled back and little bit and has some good upside. Good dividend.
TOP PICK
He values this company at $50 a year from now.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Banks have been running up on decreasing volumes. Also, they have a very large US exposure.
TOP PICK
Callable Bond due in 2018 which should be called out in 2013. If it doesn't get called out, it will float. Great hedge against inflation. Yields close to 4%.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) Largest bank, nice dividend and should not be too hurt by things American
DON'T BUY
A little over valued right now. Not one he would run out to purchase. Would be more attractive at $35.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) May have to have a bit of a visit.
TOP PICK
Strongest bank based on valuation. Low as it has been relative to peers in 5-10 years. Dividend is safe. Write down on good will is signal that they are a strong company. Best fixed income debts out of any of the Canadian banks.
BUY
Loan losses for all Canadian banks will be a little bit higher in the next year but the further out you go, the more attractive they look. You get paid to wait in all these banks. Prefers Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T).
TOP PICK
Senior Canadian bank. Great money market business. Owns tons of mutual funds and the fee base business is super. Has a good investment-banking arm. Some US exposure. With the yields where they are, you can start to add. Buy on weakness.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) One of the favourites of analysts. Has had a huge move off the bottom. Has a premium to other banks and not sure it deserves it.
TOP PICK
6.821% June 30, 2018 bonds yielding about 8% to maturity. Thinks this is the best bank. Good yield. He will probably hold until maturity.
COMMENT
Preferreds. Thinks interest rates will continue to stay reasonably low. He would take the older preferreds rather than the more recent issues. Yield of about 6% is pretty attractive.
COMMENT
Over 5% dividend. Banks have to now focus on traditional banking business, borrowing and lending spreads. He is not positive on the growth prospects for wholesale banking and the wealth management businesses. He suggests writing a Call option around $40.
