DON'T BUY

Property/casualty insurance division in Canada for the Dutch ING bank. The insurance cycle has not been that great for them. Also, investment returns have not been that great. Longer term, a good one to own, but in the near term he doesn't see a catalyst for it. If you own, try to sell on rallies.

COMMENT

The biggest property/casualty insurer in Canada. Long-term outlook is good. Near-term, margins have been under pressure. You may not see a lot of upside in the next 6 to 12 months but probably a good place to be looking out over 4 or 5 years.

SELL

(Market Call Minute)

TOP PICK

Property and Casualty insurance. A leader in Canada. Being a little speculative on the concept that parent ING may decide it doesn’t ant to be public. A good conservative Hold.

DON'T BUY

There wasn't much upside at $51. Valuation was okay, but growth was low.

WATCH

Fair market value has been calculated at $84, which means the stock is very cheap. Some risk at the $43 or $44 mark, but if it gets there it would be a BUY. Upside is $60.

BUY

Has been looking at a lot of the Property & Casualty insurers which have been having some losses. Doesn't think this is going to go on forever and this is getting into an area where it could be a buy.

HOLD

Had a bad quarter in terms of their insurance. His model price is $56.29, an 18% positive differential, but the model price is dropping. The next major bottom would be about $41.44.

BUY

This type of stock you buy when earnings are below normal, and sell it when earnings are above normal. Right now it's close to below normal. A very well managed company. Not his type of stock because it's too big and the growth rate is too low.

DON'T BUY

Largest property/casualty insurer in Canada. The insurance cycle has not been that good for them. Return on their investments portfolio has been sub par. Until there is a catalyst that changes this, he wouldn't want to own.

BUY

One of the pre-eminent property and casualty companies. Good price. Fantastic track record of having some of the highest ROE’s in the business. Good management team.

SELL

Well out of favour. Has been falling over the last year. Can't see any support.

COMMENT

Property/casualty. A cyclical business. If you are a long-term player, this is the premier company and consolidator in the business. In the near-term, it will probably show some further weakness.

DON'T BUY

Down because of concerns of the nature of property and casualty market. Had a period of good profitability, so may be in for a period of uncertainty. 10%-15% lower would be in his price target.

DON'T BUY

Pretty close to being fully valued.
