WEAK BUY
Have reduced exposure in banks within financials. Boring. You get the dividend and tax credit. The Canadian economy should do much better than the U.S.
COMMENT
Largest and probably most conservative of the Canadian banks. He stepped out of most of the Canadian bank exposure because of worries about the asset-backed commercial paper. Might be getting to the point where you could get into the banks again.
COMMENT
Over the long term you will be a winner with either Toronto Dominion (TD-T) or Royal RY-T). Fantastic retail franchises, which will really determine the winners in the banking space. TD has been knocked back a bit so you get a better valuation with it.
HOLD
Stick with Canadian financial services sector over American. Stick with Royal bank over American banks.
SELL
Doesn't particularly like the banks so we would be more on the Sell side of things.
TOP PICK
(Note: - Royal employs him.) Very aggressive in making acquisitions outside Canada. 4th largest banker in the Caribbean. Increased its dividend 25% in the last year. Good value.
HOLD
A good long-term hold. Her other choices in banks would be Toronto Dominion (TD-T) and Scotia (BNS-T). At this price, she is taking some money off the table and putting it into non-bank financials.
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.
TRADE

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.
