3. Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 89

Discussing Capital One Financial Corporation’s (NYSE:COF) acquisition of Discover Financial, Cramer commented:

“Now to me, though, the bank to own is on Tuesday. That’s Capital One, which you probably know from the credit cards. Capital One is the last resort credit card for people who have a hard time getting credit. They’ve mastered the business of lending to the less creditworthy, and now they’re trying to acquire Discover Financial, a competitor that also owns a payment group.

Now we own this one for the trust, and I can’t wait for this deal to close. Talk about deregulation, please, because Capital One plus Discover could put up a real fight against many of the credit card companies, traditional banks, but also Visa, MasterCard.”

Capital One (NYSE:COF) is a financial services firm that provides credit cards, loans, banking products, and services related to advisory and capital markets.
