The Toronto-Dominion Bank (USA) (NYSE:TD)

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

now that everyone else is having trouble "managing risk" - TD can (and is) spreading South.

Well-managed company with excellent brand-image. Solid financials. A keeper.

TD Bank's latest acquisition strategy (Chrysler Financial, BNMA) should payoff in the long run.

Pretty innovative Canadian bank in great shape and spreading internationally to the U.S. I like the "TD Ameritrade" branding as an "in" with Americans. Their retail locations are also branded as "TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank". Good start, good dividend. I'll hold for 5 and re-evaluate.

Well-capitalized, conservative bank with an unprecedented focus on customer service. Retail revenues are unmatched in the industry, and prudent lending standards (derived from Canada) help this bank weather the storm when times are tough. One of the few banks in this country that is continuing to expand and hire. Still has 80% of the country untapped which it should look to take care of in the next 3-5 years.

Great Canadian Bank - enough said!

solid bank with increasing and well funded dividend

convenience gives it a competitive edge. good customer service. also, canada's financial situation is pretty strong.

I agree with Peter Lynch "Buy stocks where you shop." TD bank is a great bank, customer service is unparalleled and they are expanding all around the United States not to mention, expanding their business model from just a bank to brokerage accounts and insurance arms. The Canadian banking system, in my opinion is the finest in the world, thus I can see this bank approaching 100+. Sort of like the Goldman Sachs of Canada.

Bearish on all Canadian Banks

#2 Canadian bank with approximate market cap of $58,440,000,000 CDN

Canadian banks have a significant advantage, since they did well during and after the subprime crisis in 2008.

Still Strong and falls less anyway

Canadian Bank. I like the dividend.

Big, strong Canadian bank with a nice dividend. Buy on the dips and in the long run I think this will handily beat any US financial equities. We should start modeling everything we do after the Canadians. Unfortunately, it's that American pride (and greed) that prohibits us from doing so.

Low dept/equity ratio, nice dividend (and growing) for a stable bank

a large Canadian bank (oh, wait, there are only large banks in Canada) i.e. very dependable dividend, rock-solid financials, well-established brand-name

but is it going to beat the S&P? heck no, unless the S&P dives...
