Q: We have positions in the major banks and are wondering why BMO fell so much recently and has not recovered as well as CM, RY, TD and BNS. It holdssubstantial US assets and I feel that the strong US dollar should be a boost for it, compared to BNS, for example.
Q: Hi guys. Any comment on the BMO earnings? Are any other new bmo earnings estimates published? I see CIBC has a new Bank of Montreal report this morning with 2014 eps estimate of $6.27 and 2015 estimate of $6.75. On a $69.95 share price that gives us p/e of 11.15 for 2014 and 10.36 for 2015.
I know, of course, these earnings estimates can always be adjusted, but all things equal the valuation doesn't look too bad sub $70 in my opinion. What are your thoughts? Thanks, as always.

Q: I am going to buy one of the following banks...National, TD, BMO, CIBC or BNS. Any frontrunners in the group and what do you expect dividends to do in this grouping?
Q: I see that BMO has taken a big hit today, but I can find no reason for it. Your thoughts?
Q: I have BMO in my tfsa and BNS in the wife's. The pundits always praise TD and BNS when suggesting bank investments but never mention BMO, yet it consistently has outperformed BNS, and pays a better dividend. Any ideas why BMO never gets the credit?
Q: Based on BMO's just released earnings, would you consider it a good buy at this level ?
Q: BMO was hit very hard today but I have been unable to find a reason for it. Can you comment?
Q: An earlier question asked about BNS, and it was suggested that TD be considered for its US exposure (for the recovery).
Would BMO also be recommended, as it has considerable US holdings?

Q: I want to create a financial section of my portfolio. Somewhere between 15 and 20 %. I have been considering adding BMO and NA which are trading at 10 and 8 times earnings and yielding 4.3 and 4.66%. I think a good entry point would be a yield of 5%. Could you comment on the portfolio percentage, stock choices {are there better ?} and entry prices ?
Thanks Garth
