One of the largest single property/casualty insurance companies in Canada. Had a bit of a downer with its investment portfolio but are currently very confident of moving back into an acquisition mode. Have excess capital so do not need to raise debt. Brilliantly run.

Little uneasy about the determination of governments to put a lot of money into infrastructure. This company is fine. Just don't go overboard in believing infrastructure is the magic potion.

COMMENT
Good dividend but there might be some jeopardy to it. Prefers BCE (BCE-T).

BUY
BCE Inc.
Now released from the takeover scenario it can now go forward through capable hands. Has such a low positioning in the market relative to others that it has everything to gain. Will be a good dividend payer.

HOLD
Oilexco Inc
Filed for bankruptcy protection. Desperately trying to raise money. It doesn’t look good. If you own, it’s too late to sell for tax losses so hold if you don’t have much money in it.

BUY
Bank of Montreal
Good time to buy if you are going to hold on a very, very long-term basis. Very nice secure dividend.
