Another important metric to watch out is the provisions of credit losses. If the Big Banks are quietly hoarding big piles of cash to cover bad loans, it means they smell trouble brewing in consumer credit cards and commercial real estate.
Which is the best bank stock to buy?
My top pick is $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ as Jamie Dimon's fortress remains the gold standard. It is the King of retail banking, asset management and trading.
JPMorgan is the largest US bank with assets under management of USD 3.9 trillion currently.
JPMorgan has one of the most resilient business models in the world. It is a "sleep well at night" compounding machine.
Stay tuned for some exciting live action tomorrow from JPMorgan.
