During this weak market, the share price was hanging on very well relative to the market. 2/3 days ago, people were looking for liquidity to cover their margins and this stock got hit. Very stable business and very fee based revenue.

The premier life insurance company in North America. Has the best management, the best growth prospects and a division in the far east which gives them great growth potential.
