BUY

Poised to become the dominant insurance company in the world. Balance sheet is strong

TOP PICK

Great example of a great Canadian company. One of the best capitalized insurance companies in the world. Can benefit from the US financial crisis. What for acquisitions.

DON'T BUY

Avoided all of the sub-prime catastrophes. Trading close to its fair market value

BUY

Solid operations and good growth prospects.

TOP PICK

Did a great deal with Hancock. Lots of capacity to buy from AIG. They will grow even further. Have a great Asian franchise.

TOP PICK

There is talk that they are looking at bits and pieces of AIG (AIG-N). This would be smart as there are some very profitable pieces internationally and in Canada. Have a depth of people throughout the company. Very reasonable multiple for a long-term holder.

BUY

Huge in the far east. First Canadian insurance company to get into China. Huge growth for them.

BUY

Likes its international diversification. The worry in the short term is the forthcoming change in CEO’s. Has a history of diversifying very well and growing outside of Canada and North America.

BUY

Great well run company. Missed the street on numbers but if you look at the components, they were actually quite good. A lot of great growth prospects in Asia.

HOLD

Canadian insurers sold off in light of the financial crisis but are still showing more solid characteristics than some of the US financials. Multiples have come down that it is now good value.

DON'T BUY

(Market Call Minute.) Great company. His concern is that when money starts moving back to the banks will it come out of the Lifecos.

DON'T BUY

Performance over the last little while has been less than stellar. Sees a flat line to slightly negative ahead. Doesn’t think market’s worries about insurance companies being the next place for financial problems is over. This company is pretty stable.

SELL

Banks have let go but the 2 major life insurance companies hung on. Sun Life has finally let go and this is the last of the companies that hasn't really set back to a level that he would be comfortable buying.

COMMENT

A superb company. Will continue to do well. Good marketing position in China and will be expanding that fairly rapidly. Good position in the US with John Hancock. Prefers Great West Lifeco (GWO-T) currently.

DON'T BUY

Sitting right on its support level and there is risk of it breaking down through it.
