TOP PICK

Non traditional auto insurance in both Canada and the US. Very small exposure/loss to the hurricane Katrina. Stock was a little bit weak on that basis. Trades at not very much above book and at single digit earnings multiples.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

In a very competitive area from a pricing point of view, but are one of the premier companies in the non-standard auto. A volatile stock. Well run. Fairly priced at these levels. If you see a hiccup, it would be a good time to buy.

TOP PICK

Looking at financial services, it's by far the cheapest stock. They'll earn $2.50 this year. Looks like some decent growth. 8 X earnings.

BUY

Had a terrific quarter. For the first time ever, it actually reversed reserves it had made for accidents. Strong management and the stock still has some way to run.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 29/05. Up 7.3%.) Very pleased with their latest results. Reversed some reserves that they had. Premium growth wasn't very high.

BUY

Thought they had terrific earnings and the stock went up---for about 10 minutes. Irritated that the market didn't acknlowledge it. A good buy.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 28/05. Down 3%.) Waiting to see what this quarter brings. There were some pretty good earnings from Allstate (ALL-N) which leads him to believe that this company will have a pretty good quarter. Thinks the stock is cheap on a fundamental basis.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A high risk insurer for uninsurable drivers. This can be very profitable. Had hiccups during their expansion in the US last year. A good entry point. Try to buy on a weak day.

TOP PICK

Increased their reserves. Was really put in the penalty box and fell off the cliff about a year and a half ago.

BUY

Think highly of this company. Has a lot of potential. Pull back gives a good opportunity to BUY.

BUY

Does a really good job in a high risk driver area. Flush with cash. Price has dropped, so it's a buying opportunity.

BUY

Outlook is quite positive. Met their expectations on earnings.

TOP PICK

Will be a good growth potential this year. Costs have gotten under control.

TOP PICK

Had some issues with their reserves, but thinks that is finally behind them. The combined ratio (ratio of expenses paid out to premiums taken in is finally getting a little more respectable and is now below 100. Forcasting $2.50 in a go forward basis. Just instituted a dividend of roughly 1%.

HOLD

Gettin close to being fully valued.
