WEAK BUY

Part of the Power Financial Group (PWF-T) which he likes. That said, if he had to own a single life insurance company, it would be Manulife (MFC-T) which gives you great presence in the far east.

BUY

A very solid, gentle, gradual upsloping chart. Good dividends.

HOLD

A really good insurance company. Has lagged Sun Life (SLF-T) and Manufacturers (MFC-T) because of their US health business where the margins have been weak. An OK investment.

BUY

One of the very attractive stocks. Among the financials, likes the lifeco's better than the banks. Has been rising and has consistantly been a good performer.

BUY

A good operator. A long history of consolidating history. Increasing profitability.

BUY

A steady performer. Around 15% ROE plus a good history of increased dividends. A stock that just chugs along. No real excitement, but nothing wrong with it. A good Buy and Hold.

HOLD

The bull on financial services is long in the tooth at 30 months. This one's in a growth channel. Once it gets to the top of its channel, it is possibel it will drop and look for support at the lower part of its channel. Could just trade sideways. Wouldn't buy.

BUY

Doesn't have as much up sdie as Sun Life (SLF-T) and Manulife (MFC-T) because it is somewhat privately owned. Extremely well run. Conservative. Anytime you see a pullback on the major financials, you should be buying because they will be going back up.

BUY

Of the 3, likes Sun Life (SLC-T) on the valuation and the profit growth is moderate, enough to make him believe it is capable of putting up a 15% ROE. Manulife (MFC-L) is on the expensive side, but the rate of profit growth implies that you will see positive earnings surprises. Great West has a higher level of profit growth at 18%.

BUY

If he were to own something in the Canadian financial services area, he would be more focused on the life insurance area. Would take this and Manulife (MFC-T) over the banks. Growth profiles look that much better. Good yield.

BUY

An attractive stock. Formed an excellent base and broke out of that at around $20, rose to $26, had a pause and recently went into all time high territory. "All time high" is not a problem to buy into because there are no losers, so no one is selling.

BUY

The life insurance industry in general is a positive one. You could play this through Power Financial (PWF-T) which he does.

BUY

Getting about 2% on a company that's going to grow about 10% a year.

BUY

An industry that's generating very high return on equity. The insurance sector is a very good long term hold. Should go higher over time.

BUY

Likes both Great West Life (GWO-T) and Manulife (MFC-T). Manulife is more international. Both blue chip stocks.
