Investors still want to be long in bank stocks following their earnings reports, according to Real Money contributor Stephen Guilfoyle. He says JPMorgan Chase (JPM) - Get Report  is a "best-in-class" name, and notes the stock is trading at 1.67 book value.

He also likes Bank of America (BAC) - Get Report stock and holds a long position in that name. He says consumer finance also looks strong, and notes that American Express (AXP) - Get Report  reports its results next week.

Guilfoyle says for the next three quarters, banks have easy year-over-year earnings comparisons.
