DON'T BUY
Earnings for Cdn banks are coming in disappointing and the stocks are showing this. A more interesting area in Cdn financials would be life insurance companies.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 9/04. Up 6%.) Thinks the situation in the US is gradually turning around. Doesn't expect a spectacular quarter this time, but things are improving.
BUY
Banks, historically have been vulnerable in a rising rate environment. Offers reasonable value here. Its US strategy has failed.
BUY
Favourite bank stock. Has lagged. If they sold (will probably fix instead) RBC Centura it would give them $12 a share.
BUY
In the history of the Cdn stock markets, banks have always been among the best performers, so you should always have some in your portfolio.
WEAK BUY
Prefers Toronto Dominion Bank and Bank of Nova Scotia. Has been the worst performing bank of the big five, so may be an opportunity if you feel they can turn their US operation around.
DON'T BUY
Looks expensive. Their struggles with their US operations are not reflected in the price. Would consider if it was trading at a discount to its peers.
DON'T BUY
Would be cautious on this bank at the present time.
WEAK BUY
(past top pick June 25, 2004. up 0.5%) Is a cheaper bank stock, they are in the dog house. Will go higher over time.
DON'T BUY
Prefers Toronto Dominion Bank.
DON'T BUY
Wouldn't rush to buy any of the banks at this time. Likes them but returns going forward are going to be fairly muted. Prefers insurance companies.
BUY
Likes. National Bank is #1 followed by Royal, TD and Bank of Nova Scotia.
TOP PICK
There was an over reaction to their latest quarterly numbers. Reasonably priced.
DON'T BUY
Q: Is overweighting banks rather than holding cash a good strategy? A: Works well over a 3/5 year time horizon. 3rd quarter was worse than expected and costs were starting to go up.
DON'T BUY
Would not focus on this bank because it is just going down to 58 dollar area. Focus on other banks such as TD.
