DON'T BUY

Despite being better diversified, US banking space can be more volatile than Canada's. Because of covered calls, won't achieve as much capital growth as from ZBK or ZUB. As well, consider some of the active options as offered, for example, from Hamilton.

banks
BUY

Good yield with covered call strategy. Currency exposure a concern, but likes Canadian banking sector. Expecting strong earnings going forward. Housing pressure with renewing mortgages a concern, but overall a good product for long term investors. 

banks
BUY

Likes covered call ETFs on banks and dividend payers, not tech. He prefers BMO ETFs, because they run the covered call on 50-60% of the stocks, so you still get the upside on the balance. ZWK pays around 10% dividends, but remember you don't enjoy the tax credit in Canada on these American banks

banks
WEAK BUY

Bought this to enhance gains, but has really enhance losses. A stinker. The Silicon Valley bank collapsed hit the entire US banking sector, but this sector is a core holding. The ZWK yield remains good. He's averaged down on this instead of dumping it. Disappointed, though.

banks
WEAK BUY

Yield gets up to about 10% with the covered call overlay. Likes US banks, cheap relative to 5-10 year history. If economy continues to recover, banks should be there. Last 3 months, this has returned 17.5%. 

Are you looking for income, or do you just want exposure to US banks? Makes sense if you need the income. He'd argue that you'll get a better total return owning the underlying shares, or an ETF of US banks, instead of using the covered call strategy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would wait to buy on weakness. Economic hard landing in the horizon. Wait for impact of interest rates to be felt. 

banks
BUY ON WEAKNESS

Hard economic landing will not be good for US banks. Would be risky if economy slows down. Would not buy. Wait for markets to fall before investing.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Believes challenges remain in US banking system with higher interest rates.
Would wait to buy as bank shares fall even more.
Quality names in top US banks.

0.72% MER good.
Fundamentals of banking industry improving.
Would be a good time to buy given share price.
Lots of risk priced in.

With the US banking sector 'settling' down, ZWK does look a bit better. It is up 8.6% in the past month as the crisis subsides. We still have recession and rate risks, but with no new bank failures in a while and confidence returning, we would be more comfortable with ZWK today.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Silicon Valley Bank included in this ETF (reason for share price weakness).
Would recommend buying in the coming months as higher interest rates rake their toll (job losses).
Other banks in ETF are strong.

banks
DON'T BUY

Not a good time to invest.
Wait for bottom in the market.
Looming recession will present good buying opportunity.

banks
HOLD

Mix of large and smaller banks.
Recent bank weakness included in ETF.
Would look at if interested in dividend yields.

banks
HOLD
Broad basket of US regional & National banks (5% weighting to each name). Question is how much exposure investors want to banks. Low dividend rate, not as high as Canadian banks. Not a good investment for someone in their 80's.
banks
BUY
Good option for someone in their mid-80s? Broad equal-weight basket of US regional and national banks. Pretty volatile and cyclical and getting less dividend than with Canadian banks. If already exposed to Canadian banks then good option, otherwise it would be wise to wait 3 to 6 months to see how the recession is going to play out on capital markets.
