Bank of Montreal (USA) (NYSE:BMO)

I like the Canadian Banking sector much more than the American one. The dividends are higher, the earnings ratios tend to be lower and they don't seem to be throwing their money around looking for exotic investments. Just a good old fashioned institution that you can rest easy with.

the in house communication are scaterd, and they have been under staffed since the aquisition in 2011. In addition several of there branches have closed

High yield strategy: TMFHighYield says to look for "high dividend payers from the S&P 500 from diverse sectors, relatively low debt, and a history of increasing dividend payments." This is my Financial pick.

The best bull and bear pitches beasd on resency and number of recommendation.

Our neighbors to the north seem to be able to handle their money a little better than we do. As we slide the slippery slope they should be able to hold their ground.

All the numbers look great

Dividend mostly stable, tons of cash on hand, decent numbers. Low payout ratio, etc. Probably make this 0.75-1% of portfolio.

no risk here, Canadian banks didn't gamble with customers money.

P/E 10, div 5%

New business in the United States is turning a healthy profit. They now have more branches in Chicago than Toronto, which they can leverage for increased growth, and the dividend is healthy and well-above the market-average.

Very solid company run by very smart, pragmatic, risk-appropriate executives. Excellent product line-up. Bold but thoughtful foray into US through subsidiary Harris Bank in Chicago via M&I merger will eventually yield growth, earnings and...stock price appreciation. Has strong capital, market street smarts, can compete on Wall Street and Main Street.

solid canadian bank with a 182 year dividend payment track record!

Bank of Montreal with it's consistent dividend and potential growth opportunities is my favorite banking stock, and also my bank. With it's US business continuing to grow at a modest rate, along with providing an almost 5% dividend BMO will continue to outperform.

Good company in a temporary weakness

GREAT BANK

BMO. Buy on the recent pullback. Good fundamentals will ensure growth.

#4 Canadian bank with approximate market cap of $31,240,000,000 CDN
