HOLD
Has had a terrific run. It's no longer a bargain, but on the other hand, it's not grossly overpriced. A good cornerstone of an equity portfolio.
TOP PICK
The biggest bank in Canada. Good management. 3.1% dividend yield.
HOLD
His model price is $84.34. Not a mispriced asset for him to be interested in. Nice dividend. Likes the banks.
BUY
Has just taken a charge for Enron related litigation and legal expenses. This bank as gone a long way to turning around its operations. On a longer term, this is a good investment. In the near term, as interest rates go up and if we do see an inversion of the yield curve, this could slow profit growth.
BUY
One of the best banks you can find in the world. Good dividend yield.
COMMENT
They have put aside $25 million for the settlement related to Enron.
DON'T BUY
Now starting to deal with their unprofitable US assets, so the outlook on the stock has improved. Pretty fairly valued here.
HOLD
Going to continue to rise. Has a dominant position. A solid stock.
BUY
Has gone from being the laggard in the bank area to probably one of the strongest performers. Have taken action in the US to get out of businesses they should'nt have been in.
TOP PICK
Profitability for all major Canadian banks is staggering. It is averaging around 19%. Good growth.
BUY
The news is getting better for Royal Bank. Have had 2 successful quarters where they've beaten the expectations. The US purchases is under better control now. Good wealth management operation.
DON'T BUY
Stock price will be enhanced it they do something with their US holding Centura, either fix it or kill it. Prefers to own banks that are in the doghouse.
BUY
Has further to go. The results in the last 2 quarters have both been surprises on the upside and usually when you get one or two surprises there are more to follow.
TOP PICK
Banking sector would be his favourite for the long term. The historical 10 year return for the banking sector was 13%. This one for the short term opportunity. Hasn't settled with Enron, but almost settled with the range. That uncertainty has taken the stock down unfairly.
BUY
Likes all the Canadian banks. They have reserves greater than all the loans they have potentially identified as being bad. Solid balance sheets. They all trade around 12 X earnings. Dividend yields from about 2.5% to 3.5%. Getting paid more than you would on a GIC.
