| DON'T BUY | 11.050 | Mark Grammer | Japanese banks are inextricably tied to the Japanese economy and their economy is not growing that rapidly. He is not bullish on the Japanese banks. | 2007-12-06 | |
| Comment | 9.740 | Mark Grammer | It has been a miserable ride for the Japanese banks for the last 18 months. The big issue is that the interest rate spreads in Japan are so low. It had been expected that interest rates in Japan would rise, but it looks like they won't go up for another 60 or 8 months. | 2007-08-13 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 12.220 | Mark Grammer | (A Top Pick (A year ago?) Down 24%.) Japanese banks had a tough year in general. Expectations where that interest rates would go up much faster than they did. Likes Japanese banks longer term. | 2007-02-28 | |
| SELL | 12.640 | Charles Lannon | The big banks in Japan are losing shares to the regional ones. | 2007-01-09 | |
| BUY | 12.540 | Mark Grammer | Strongest bank in Japan. Haven’t seen it yet, but interest margins should start to expand for Japanese banks. He expects there will be another interest rate rise soon in Japan. | 2006-12-13 | |
| BUY | 12.880 | Mark Grammer | This stock was a previous top pick. He likes it. The return on assets is low. He believes that Japanese banks are the place to be. | 2006-09-28 | |
| Comment | 14.210 | David Driscoll | Because of all of its underlying sectors, ownership is like an investment in Japan itself. This bank will grow at a pace of Japanese economic growth. | 2006-08-17 | |
| BUY | 13.490 | David Driscoll | If you are looking at investment outside of Canada, one way to do it is through large companies. An investment in this company pretty much gives you an investment in the Japanese economy. | 2006-05-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 15.920 | Mark Grammer | The biggest bank in Japan has a result of a merger between Mitsubishi and UFJ Group. Have a strong corporate side from Mitsubishi and a strong retail side from UFJ. Loan losses are going down. Starting to write new loans. Interest margins are going up. Not expensive. | 2006-04-25 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 13.870 | Mark Grammer | (A Top Pick August 16/05. Up 45%.) The banks in Japan have turned the corner. They really are commercial enterprises right now. | 2006-01-26 | |
| BUY | 8.850 | Gavin Graham | Selling lots of copper, iron ore and coal to China. | 2004-11-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.950 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | Japan's financial sector has a lot of problems. Might be OK for a trading bounce. | 2003-05-26 |
