Bank Stocks You Can Bank On

Bernie McGinn thinks it's time for the investor to make a deposit in some selected bank stocks.  The founder of McGinn Investment Management thinks the subprime crisis has now run its course.

"The subprime story has now been around almost a full year, giving people and companies time to adjust their exposure and to adjust their valuations on securities, and I think that to a certain extent, companies have started to overcompensate for their exposure to subprime," he told CNBC.

Recommendations:

"In the financials, I think there's a buying opportunity at AIG [AIG  Loading...      ()   ]," McGinn said.  "That's a company that has been sort of pummeled of late, because of management issues."

He also likes Bank of America [BAC  Loading...      ()   ].

"Bank of America represents a pretty good buy right here," he said.  "It's a tremendous franchise; it's the number one in deposits, it's number one in credit-card balances, it will be number one in mortgages."

Also on his shopping list are Home Depot [HD  Loading...      ()   ] and Ford Motor [F  Loading...      ()   ].
