BUY ON WEAKNESS
Banks as a group have been taking a rest recently. The Royal is a class act. This is the kind of stock you can buy and put away. The upcoming environment for the banks is a little bit tricky right now, so you will have opportunities to buy.
DON'T BUY
Had been subject to some top forming and problem areas. Had a strong up leg and then went into a head and shoulders formation. Price has fallen below the moving averages, which indicates some problems ahead.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn’t be buyer. Canadian over own financial stocks. Poor performer since August.
COMMENT
Because of their increased exposure in the US are facing a bit of the credit crunch and are being tarred on sub primes with the same brush. Some of the other banks are looking better to investors.
TRADE
Likes Canadians banks, they will fare better than American counterparts.

COMMENT
Used to be the leader and traded at a premium. Have struggled a bit with their US operations.
DON'T BUY
Feels it is pricey at over 3X book. 3.7% yield but you can do as well in many of the other banks.
BUY
Had a pretty good quarter. Banks look very interesting here. Doesn't think there's a lot more damage that could be felt on the asset side. Very well run.
HOLD
In the current economy, banks will be leading the market down but once things turn around, they would lead the market back up. Doesn't think we are finished going down yet. Wait.
TOP PICK
They have done a lot of things very well. Off about 10% from its highs. Yields about 3.6%. Good solid dividend. Multiple is less than the market, but earnings are growing greater than the market. Will be net beneficiaries of the subprime crisis eventuall
BUY
The leader of Canadian financials. It has held in a little better than the other Canadian banks and trades at a higher multiple. A leader in fixed income trading and bond portfolio, which seems to be slowing down.
WAIT
Probably the one bank with the least wrinkles, warts or imperfections. When the market shows signs of basing, and the bank stocks do the same, it would be a great buy.
WAIT
Exposure to subprime mortgages would be minimal compared to US banks. Mortgage market is slowing down. Sentiment is that the multiples in the US are pulling the stock down. Not risky, but the sentiment is currently wrong. Wait until September.
TOP PICK
Has a dominant position in the banking and money management areas. Good dividend and earnings growth. Good long-term investment.
