TOP PICK

Profitability scenario looks good to him. Cheap compared to Canadian banks. Almost all retail banking now. Almost 65% outside of US now. Very high tier one capital. With repeated good quarters the multiple should go up.

TOP PICK

Trading at low multiple. MCCSR is very robust right now. Will be a $25-$26 stock with the global economy doing so well right now.

TOP PICK

Has been depressed for a couple of years but now you have a strategy going for you. Inexpensive valuation. Canada has been seen globally as an opportunity.

N/A

Markets. No one thought it would be this good of a year in the US. The economic power house of China, Brazil, and India are actually down. We are at the lowest number of stock market bears since 1987. It has mostly been P/E expansion. Usually you get another good year after a blowout year. He sees mid to high single digest next year and Canada plays catch up.

N/A

Is an ADR for a European company a European stock or a US stock for geopolitical risk, etc.? He says it is definitively a European stock. The underlying company is still generating earnings in their own currency. To be an ADR, however, it must meet accounting and audit requirements of the US.

BUY

Caller asked for a recommendation for European Telecom. VOD is his favourite and he may own it any time now.

BUY

It was disappointing over the last 5 years. Now they have hedged their guaranteed income product and the stock has gone up. The best performer of the lifecos. He would buy it now. All of the risk is out of the stock now. Power Financial is a way to get into this sector cheaply.

HOLD

It has doubled in the last 5 years. He thinks it will continue to do well. Yield 2.8%

N/A

Tapering is not going to take place in the next couple of weeks. Nothing will happen until the end of January and then probably not until March. It is a headwind when it happens.
