Stock Opinions by Greg Newman

COMMENT

Believes financial markets had not priced in a Trump Presidency. Market jump is reflecting continued de-regulation, pro-growth policy, lower taxes and falling interest rates. investors also jumping into the markets to chase year end performance. Expecting markets to continue heading upwards and is optimistic. Prospects at major US banks have improved - share prices have began to reflect that (but are still cheap).

TOP PICK
Citigroup Inc.

Likes the upside potential with strong dividend (downside protection). Yield curve has smooth out - interest rates also falling. Very strong balance sheet with high lending capabilities. Company moving toward reducing global presence - capitalize on the USA. Less regulation under Trump presidency will also help company.

TD Bank

Would recommend buying here. Bad news is out of the way. Probably will increase going forward. Excellent brand name in Canada. New management team should be able to increase trust in the company. Falling interest rates and relaxed capital requirement rules will provide tailwinds for company.
