HOLD

Pretty good operation with a nice yield. Doesn't have the same risk that the banks do. Good management.

COMMENT

Difficult to examine all the moving parts of insurance companies. If you don't expect an improvement in the credit cycle or a rebound in the equity markets, then you get flat earnings.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 14/07. Down 46%.) Charts indicate a Buy. Breaking out of consolidation. A lot of money is going into financials right now. Deeply oversold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 31/07. Down 49%.) Much more levered to some new products than what he would have imagined. As long as you believe there is an economic/stock market recovery this will probably outperform on the upside from here. Hold.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Cheap at 1.5X Book. Well-capitalized. Ratio is above 225%, which is the standard. Does well on its life insurance side.

BUY

Ended up having a lot more equity exposure than investors knew. When equity markets come back, a lot of what they had to write off will be able to be taken back as gains.

BUY

Disappointed that they hadn't protected themselves given the PPN notes they were selling. Financially strong, arguably the strongest financial institution in North America. Safe dividend. Very well run company. Good price.

HOLD

Caught in the huge financial downdraft. If there is a recovery in the US, which he expects, companies like this with very solid balance sheets could do quite well in buying some US assets.

DON'T BUY

Had the same problems as all financial stocks. Broken down below $35 beginning of October. Trying to make a base. 50-day moving average is around $26. 200-day moving average is around $35.

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) Not a fan of financials at this time.

HOLD

Fine company and has great foreign exposure. Has lots of cash so it will probably make an acquisition. Long-term hold.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Well run company.

BUY

If you have a long-term time arising, you can buy this one. All these great companies are trading at the lowest multiples they have ever traded at.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Has probably done its worst.

BUY

President stated they didn't need equity and yet arranged a loan. (Their way of doing a preferred or common equity/) Wouldn't be surprised to see them do a preferred and possibly a common equity if the stock ever got back to the high $20's. Surprised the stock didn't do better when the market was up the last couple of days.
