BUY

On his Buy list is an equal holding of Manufacturers Life (MFC-T) and Sun Life (SLF-T). ROE on ManuLife is superior. Prefers insurance companies over banks.

BUY

Either Sun Life (SLF-T) or Manufacturers Life (MFC-T) is a good buy at this time. Good yield at 2.3%. Good earnings profile going forward going from $2.51 to about $2.80 this year and perhaps over $3 next year. Making very large inroads and strong market share gains in wealth management.

BUY

Lifecos in the US have gone way up as the banks have gone way down. Lifecos are great stocks to own if you are a value, long-term investor. The stock is cheap and has a good dividend yield. Think they will do much better than the banks in the next year or two.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 5/07. No change.) A financial services company, so it's down. Has John Hancock as a sub in the US and big overseas but has no subprime exposure. Still likes. Good price.

HOLD

He has a model price of $38.51, so it’s right on his model price. If you’re a long-term holder, continue to Hold.

TOP PICK

Great company with a global platform. 50% of their business is in the US, 25% in Canada, and 20% in Asia. Consistent 15% earnings growth yet trading at 13X next year’s earnings. Have consistently increased the dividend. Feels there’s a lot more safety here.

BUY

All of the financial services companies in Canada are attractively valued. You can hold this one for the long-term.

BUY

A long-term Hold. It will take a long time for them to make any money in China.

TOP PICK

Recent retreat here which happens seldom makes this a good entry point. The risk is the currency, but he is still thinking it will net low double digit returns. (dividend at 3% + stock valuation).

BUY

Likes it. Better way to play the insurance business is with Power Financial since it has a broader category. Likes banks over insurance, but still likes it.

BUY

Likes their exposure in the far east. The company is looking globally. Thinks it's great. Buy and hold.

WATCH

Stock is a little expensive here. Buy if they announce an aquisition.

BUY

Great financial. Good entry to China. Integration of John Hancock has been fantastic.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 6/06. Up 8.4%.) Has concerns about the banks but wants to be in the financials and this is a phenomenal company. Earnings are growing at 15%. Have a 17% ROE. Well diversified in products, distribution and geographically.

WEAK BUY

Would buy if had to be involved in financial services. Growth coming form around the world. Likes company.
