BUY

His favourite insurance company in Canada. Best management. Great growth opportunities in the Far East. Have built up a lot of cash and have the ability to make a major acquisition.

BUY

Market was disappointed in their sales. He likes their prospects in Asia. Good long-term hold.

BUY

Would buy at this price.

HOLD

Tremendously well managed. While diversified by geography and business line. Had a huge run and he questions if he should start trimming. Would look to buy on any weakness.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 2/06. Up 12.2%.) Still owns, but has scaled back because she thinks it is going to hit a wall for a while.

WAIT

Basically at a 52-week high. It's at the top of the multiple ranges and had a recent move. Would try to buy it back in the $38 range.

BUY

A great long-term play. Great growth in the US and China.

HOLD

A great company. Fairly reasonably priced, particularly compared to the banks. The premium that insurance companies in general have traded at has shrunk.

BUY

Moderately undervalued according to his valuations. Profit growth rate is better than the market average. Good yield. Stable earnings and ROE history. A relatively defensive interest-rate sensitive name.

TOP PICK

Likes their Hancock acquisition giving exposure to the US, but more important is their Asian positioning. Well run company.

BUY

Has a massively positive franchise in North America. The John Hancock acquisition has been well integrated. Likes their Asian exposure. Expects to see solid earnings growth in future.

BUY

In terms of using financial services to access greater Asian exposure this is a company you might want to consider.

HOLD

One of his favourite companies, but wouldn't be putting new money into it. On a relative valuation basis, Sun Life (SLF-T) is a little bit better buy at this point in time.

BUY

Of all the financials, this one has the nicest chart. The banks all did fairly well with 10%-20% returns. This one did not have the same returns and has some catching up to do. Had a number of bottoms from June on and they were always higher. Also had a pretty steady top with a nice breakout in November.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 28/05. Up 15.2%.) Still likes, but sold his holdings. If you want to be in this space, use Sun Life (SLF-T).
