Royal Bank (RY-T) is widely regarded as the top Canadian bank and has excelled in capital markets and wealth management. Recent reviews highlight its strategic decisions, such as the acquisition of HSBC, which position it well for future growth through cross-selling products. While the Canadian banking sector has performed strongly, the stock is trading at historical highs in terms of price-to-earnings ratios, prompting concerns about valuation among some analysts. The bank's dividend yield, while lower than 3%, has shown a consistent upward trend. Many experts see RY as a cornerstone holding in their portfolios due to its stable growth and ability to maintain capital during market uncertainties. Despite the current high valuations, RY continues to be recommended as a solid long-term investment, with potential for growth as market conditions evolve.

DON'T BUY
Has been a defensive bank. Money is starting to come out and go into other banks. Underperformer. Prefers Toronto Dominion.
HOLD
Close to full value. Will perform with the market. A safe stock.
PAST TOP PICK
(Was a top pick on Mar 31/03. Up 3.8%) Still likes. A good conservative play.
HOLD
Not a flashy bank, but very solid. Well run. Fully valued at this time. Has a US presence now.
DON'T BUY
Now trading at its peak fair market value. Stock will have a very hard time exceeding this price. Wait for a pull back. Dividend is 3% and historically will pull back at this point.
BUY
A premier bank. Valuations are a little on the high side, so expect modest growth.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A premier bank, but you are paying for it. Would probably buy in the low to mid $50's.
BUY
Likes the banking sector. The premier bank.
BUY
This and Bank of Nova Scotia are the best of the banks.
BUY
Have avoided some disasters. Good dividend.
TOP PICK
Fairly conservative. Good dividend. Has done well in growth of earnings and it should continue.
HOLD
A good conservative holding.
DON'T BUY
The yields on banks should reach 4/4.5% before they are a buy and the stock prices have to drop in order to rach this yield. They could also have another shoe to drop.
BUY
Should do well in a rally.
BUY
Prefers Royal and Bank of Montreal over CIBC.
