John Hancock acquisition is a very good story. Don't feel they're done with acquisitions yet. A good play.

Favorite stock in the financials right now. Acquisition of John Hancock was superbly timed.

WEAK BUY

Fair market value is only $42. Working very hard on the amalgamation of John Hancock so there is an unknown upside to come.

Good management. Expect they will take a lot of costs out of the business with the acquisition of John Hancock. Expecting good Asian growth.
