Valuation

Fair Value

SLF-T

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.

BUY

A good company to get global exposure. Should have one insurance company as a core holding. Just put it away and forget it.

BUY

Good growth. ROE is improving. International growth. A good long-term holding.

WAIT

Would be interested in this in the mid-$60’s. Has done a good job with its John Hancock acquisition. You get good US diversification.

BUY

Best life insurance company in North America. Likes their far east holdings. Have announced a stock split.

WATCH

There is still a long-term uptrend in place. You have to watch the long bonds in the US. If they go through 5.5%, financials are going to be hurt.

BUY

Looks like the end of US interest rate rises on the short end of the curve and long-term rates could move higher. This is a pretty good environment for them.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The chart is starting to look a little bit tired and the wonders if there won't be a bit of a pullback. If it fell back below $70, he would be in with both feet.

BUY

The best managed with the best growth prospects. Will probably be making another acquisition in the next year or so in the US insurance market. They are also major players in the far east.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It is a terrific stock. A great Canadian success story. She does not own but is waiting for a pull back to buy. No reason to sell, unless your portfolio is too saturated.

BUY

He likes Manulife. It is well diversified company globally. Possibly, could put 5-10% of your holdings into this stock. Recommends having at least 10 different stocks to diversify your holdings.

PAST TOP PICK

Past top pick, up 8% since recommending. Stopped buying starting to buy Sunlife Financial. Still owns it and holding.

WAIT

A good stock, but a little on the expensive side for him.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 5/05. Up 6.5%.) The most attractive life insurance company in North America. Still has a reasonable valuation. Has a huge cash hoard. Has the best exposure of any major North American insurance company to the far east, especially China.
