TD-T vs US Banks – All the Canadian bank shares have been weak. Technically, he sees support around $68. As with the US banks, they are generally cheaper, but he has not had any good result in purchasing them. He thinks this is a signal the market is just not interested in this sector. He is a firm believer the Canadian banks are of higher quality and earnings are consistent.

Bank of America vs Citigroup – Both of these have earnings forecasts that are growing compared to the rest of the US bank sector that looks weak. He thinks both are excellent value and are good buys currently. He wishes the US banks would stop buying back shares and pay out dividends instead – like the Canadian banks. He thinks this might require regulatory support first.

He has been waiting for improvements and the earnings have still not improved. Technically it has failed support and now he looks for $9 soon.

From a valuation perspective he does not like this stock today. On a price to book of 56 times, it is extremely expensive. He sees the fair market value near $200. He feels they bought back shares trashing the balance sheet in the late innings of the cycle. This sector typically faces the most gruesome moves down when the cycle ends.

He likes to see dividends be paid out of earnings and not funny accounting means. This company is not paying out of earnings and this will damage the balance sheet. He sees the recent move below $34 as a technical signal of further weakness to come and he might become interested when it trades at $24.

Canadian utilities tend to bottom as markets are peaking. He thinks this is a signal that investors are looking for safer havens. These will be attractive for 2019.
