Q: Dear Peter et al:
To my question on June 29th, you had suggested these three as your safe picks amongst US banks. (You also included C,BAC,WFC. But I have chosen to highlight the top three.
From tomorrow the earnings reports will start trickling in, starting with JPM.
Should one wait or start taking positions from today! Going forward, what is your prediction for these three banks?
Many thanks.
Mano.

Q: Dear Peter et al:
Thanks to your consistent answers not only to my questions but to other subscribers, I have taken a position in RY, BN and TD. BNS may follow soon.
However having browsed through literally hundreds of questions on US Financial stocks, I don't see the same consistent answers. JPM seems to get your nod mostly. Even that doesn't get the nod with the fervor with which you endorse RY for example. In general you seem to be less enthusiastic about the US big banks.
What are the US banks that you would rank in the same order as you often do in Canadian banks? i.e. equivalent to RY/TD/BNS.
Thank you.

Q: Do you think the selling in US banks is overdone? They have really taken a big hit lately. I would think with rising rates, they would be going up instead of dropping. Is this because of the war in Ukraine and their interests in Russia, or are there other factors at play here?
Which one is your favourite right now? I don't own any of them, but am thinking of starting a position.
Q: Would you prefer Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs today.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: Am I correct in concluding from my calculations that investors place a lower value on GS shares than they do on firms like MS and JPM? If yes, is GS’ share price discounted because GS carries a higher risk than its peers ? For GS my calculations have ROE at 16%, and PEG at 1.25. I cannot work out ROCI— I come up with a bizarre number. What are your ratios for all these please?
Other than a high debt level, would you have concerns about GS that amateurs would not see? Is GS a reasonably good investment based on both its own projections, its actual history, and projections by the more insightful “Mike Mayo type” analysts? (I don't have access to Mayo’s research) .
I am fully allocated to financials, but that seems to be one of the few sectors that possibly has some value. Correct? I find worrying about “diversification” and “allocations” rather tiresome. Do you find time spent on “proper” allocation worth while on your own PERSONAL accounts ? Really?
Q: For long term US financial exposure I hold JPM, BAM and C. Wondering if I should sell C and consolidate into JPM/BAC, or buy GS, or do nothing at all?
Thanks.
Q: Merry Christmas
What is your opinion on GS
Q: Do you feel there is a need to go into the US to get additional financial exposure, into something like GS or JPM? Or would RY be sufficiently diversified given its size, and international diversification.
