Thanks for the short analysis of all the banks I previously mentioned : )

TD, STT and NTRS may be a bit expensive due to their 'safe' nature as perceived by investors (also, it helps not having big scandals!)

One way of gauging whether or not a bank is doing well is through the Net Interest Margin (NIM). Here's a brief explanation from Wikipedia:

As always, analysing NIM will take a bit more of your time but hopefully this will translate into a better analysis of banks

Best of luck with JPM and BAC! : )
