BUY

A very stable stock. A star Canadian financial institution. The best managed in the whole financial area in Canada. Has the best international exposure and the best earnings growth.

BUY

Good ROE. Good growth in the US through John Hancock and in Asia. Multiples are not bad.

TOP PICK

Great management. Likes their John Hancock acquisition in the US as well as their great franchises in Asia that are only going to get larger and larger. Trades at a higher ROE than the banks.

BUY

A great company. Trades at 15 X earnings. Low yield at 2%. 2nd largest life insurer in North America. The John Hancock acquisition was integrated very well. Have a great and growing franchise in Asia. Expect they will make another acquisition.

BUY

Since insurance companies tend to be cash cows, this company should have good long-term growth.

BUY

Good, solid company. Tremendous track record. Made some very important acquisitions in the US. Operates in the far east as well. Nice, long-term hold.

BUY

And interest rate sensitive company so has been under a little bit of pressure. Has outperformed the market by only falling 7/8% while the market was off 12%. About 1/3 of its earnings are Canadian, 1/3 from Asia. There are good prospects of growth from the Asian market.

HOLD

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.

BUY

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.

TOP PICK

Has flat lined in this bear market which historically means coming out of the bear market it will perform very well. A world leader with great growth potential. Wait for the market to settle down before buying.

HOLD

Has held up very well. If you are a trader, you may want to sell and switch into one of the banks, but if you are a long-term player, it is still a good hold.

BUY

The Canadian operations are really driving the company. Likes this company.

HOLD

Has executed flawlessly. A long-term core holding. At 14 X earnings, it's higher than banks which are normally 12 X’s. Wouldn't buy at this time.

DON'T BUY

Has done so well, he has reduced his holdings significantly. At 18 X trailing earnings it was becoming fully valued.
