Likes the business model very much. Good growth in Asia. Their last quarter was terrific.

HOLD

Do own some. At it's all time high. See no reason to sell. Hold.

STRONG BUY

Was top pick at $38, still like it. Reported a great quarter last week. May push through to $52-54. Be cautious at this price. Getting close to full value.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past top pick November 11, up 21%) We continue to hold it. Wouldn't be rushing in to buy it. Anything below $45 is an oppurtunity to buy. Well positioned

PAST TOP PICK

(Was a Top pick Nov 24/03. Up 46.25/40.50%.) In hold territory now.

TOP PICK

Have a great opportunity in Asia, which should provide good growth. Reasonably priced.

TRADE

A little bit ahead of itself. FMV is around $39/41. Has very good technical support at the $39/40. A very well-run company.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick Oct 30/03. Up 14.8%.) A very attractive value. The integration going forward, will make a strong company.

TOP PICK

Selling at 13 1/2 X earnings. We'll be the second biggest life insurance Company in North America. They got John Hancock at a very good price.

TOP PICK

Selling at 13 1/2 X earnings. We'll be the second biggest life insurance Company in North America. They got John Hancock at a very good price.

BUY

The merger of John Hancock will be a great deal. Should make the company a very powerful entity.

TOP PICK

A little cheap right now. Well-managed, and the merger should give it scope. Doesn't think their Asian market is adequately valued.

WAIT

Likes the company, but recommends buying later in the spring, closer to the closing of the John Hancock deal.

PAST TOP PICK

(A past top pick Oct 7/03. Up 10%.) Expects their part in the mutual fund scandal will be dealt with very quickly.

WAIT

All the life co's. have moved up in terms of price/earnings ratio. Slightly expensive in the short term. Wait for the John Hancock situation to get cleared up before buying.
