Signal	Opinion	Expert
DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) February 27, 2019 The parent is discounted on a NAV basis relative to the underlying assets. He does not like the sub-underlying companies, especially on the investment service side. He would prefer to hold their preferred shares. The yield is well covered.

HOLD	Power Corp(POW-T) February 13, 2019 Is the dividend safe? She thinks the yield is safe. Investors' Group is going through changes, so that is eroding the earnings. She wonders about how much growth there is, so the dividend may not grow forever. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Is the dividend safe? She thinks the yield is safe.

BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) February 11, 2019 POW-T vs. PWF-T. Great West Life is the underlying company that supports both of these stocks. They are basically the same price. POW-T trades at a discount to GWO-T. You need to believe in GWO-T to own these two companies. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	POW-T vs. PWF-T.

BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) January 28, 2019 It's come off a lot and not acting fantastically, but at the current $24 it's at a level that historically has been a tough spot to break. It won't turn around any time soon, but the risk is to the upside. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It's come off a lot and not acting fantastically, but at the current $24 it's at a level that historically has been a tough spot to break.

COMMENT	Power Corp(POW-T) January 22, 2019 He bought it after the elder Desmarais died, expecting a catalyst to revitalize the company. Wrong! The sons have failed. The dividend is huge because people keep selling the stock because nothing is happening. Nobody likes Investors Group that POW own, because of robo advisors and ETFs creaming off parts of their business. Lifecos aren't making a lot of money. That said, POW is trading at 65% NAV, instead of the normal 85%, so you could get a 20% kick on this stock. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He bought it after the elder Desmarais died, expecting a catalyst to revitalize the company.

DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) January 18, 2019 He held it for about 20 years and sold out last year. In the past it was able to grow earnings and dividends, but that all stopped during the crisis of 2008 and it has gone sideways since then. It is a holding company of financial services companies and holds European securities. None of this has done much. Mutual fund management has slowed. Great West Insurance has also been a laggard. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He held it for about 20 years and sold out last year.

DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) January 14, 2019 PWF-T vs. POW-T. The parent vs. the subsidiary. He would go to PWF-T. We saw a bit of a pull back. He prefers the banking sector even more than these. He would not step into either one. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	PWF-T vs. POW-T. The parent vs. the subsidiary. He would go to PWF-T. We saw a bit of a pull back.

HOLD	Power Corp(POW-T) January 7, 2019 Stock's been going nowhere forever. Results have been pretty good, and there have been dividend increases. Management has no sense of urgency to creating value. Two assets are not in growth mode, Great West Life and IGM Financial. Owns it for the dividend. Not excited about much else. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Stock's been going nowhere forever. Results have been pretty good, and there have been dividend increases.

BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) December 19, 2018 Exceptionally cheap name. With a yield at 6.3% and a payout ratio of 45%. It has been a miserable performer. He doesn't see earnings falling unless there is a recession and he doesn't see that coming. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Exceptionally cheap name.

COMMENT	Power Corp(POW-T) December 11, 2018 POW or PWF for income? Owns PWF for the yield. Neither stock has done much. PWF owns Investors Group and GWL, a solid insurance company. IG had to disclose their fee structure, which was a negative, but is now slowly improving. You can own PWF for the yield, but there's been little price movement. POW owns PWF. The discounts to NAV are wide; she's unsure what the catalyst will be to narrow that. Both dividends are safe. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	POW or PWF for income? Owns PWF for the yield.

DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) November 30, 2018 Disappointing. Mutual fund sector is being blown out of the water by ETFs because of the fee structure. Basic income flow is going to be a problem in the near future. They won't go out of business, but he doesn't see the market performance or the yield improving. Yield is 5.8%. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Disappointing. Mutual fund sector is being blown out of the water by ETFs because of the fee structure.

DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) October 25, 2018 The market does not give them value for their assets and therefore the stock normally trades below its net asset value. The dividend yield is strong. The space is strong. He would look more at Manulife or Sunlife. The yield is very safe. Does not expect major upside in the stock price. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	The market does not give them value for their assets and therefore the stock normally trades below its net asset value.

DON'T BUY	Power Corp(POW-T) September 4, 2018 This is a solid company that has good businesses, but it has been dead money for a decade or longer. It is a conglomerate that is driven by Great West Life. Mutual fund companies are suffering from increased disclosure and pressure to reduce fees. He thinks Great West Life is a fine insurer but would much prefer to own Manulife or Sun Life than Power Corp because he thinks they represent better value and have better prospects for growth of earnings and dividends. mngmnt/diversified 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	This is a solid company that has good businesses, but it has been dead money for a decade or longer.
