BUY

A long-term hold; so don't sell because the stock has been dropping in the last 3 to 6 months. Free cash flow is being generated and dividends are rising. Price decline is a buying opportunity.

BUY

Property-casualty business. Best company in Canada. Has been suffering over the last 3-4 quarters due to higher claims ratios and auto insurance pricing being a little challenging in Ontario. Claims look like they're stabilizing. Doesn't expect much earnings growth.

TOP PICK

Trading at 9 X earnings, which is ridiculous for a company of this quality. Earnings are expected to grow quite nicely this year. Did not get impacted by the weather last fall as was expected. Great management.

BUY

Valuations are pretty extended relative to the group. He has been treating it as a trading stock between the high $50 to the low $50. Has recently been adding to the position.

SELL

A lower margin business. Its parent has been suffering lower margins as well. They'll struggle to retain share going forward.

DON'T BUY

It's at the low level in a trading range, but one thing that scares him is the trading range is bound by the $51 mark and $53.25 is a critical support level. A rally should have occurred by now so he feels there could be more sellers.

DON'T BUY

Well run company. Has made good penetration in Canada. Doesn’t see a lot of downside, but also not much upside.

HOLD

Property and casualty insurance. Stock price has gone nowhere for most of last year. Had a couple of good years. Very well run company.

DON'T BUY

Prefers the parent company, ING Groep NV (ING-N). It was hot in the beginning, but hasn't done much lately. With the parent company, you get a bigger spread of business.

COMMENT

Doesn’t like its dual class stock. They’ve done exceptionally well.

DON'T BUY

Have had a great run since going public. Earnings continue to beat expectations. Think the cycle is slowing down a little, so is getting a little leery.

HOLD

This is an asset of tremendous quality. Easily the most aggressive acquisition philosophy of the banks. Keep as a long-term investment.

BUY

Has been going sideways as have been most of the Canadian banks because we are going through a change of rising interest rates. Nothing wrong with owning this, you just have to have a longer time horizon.

SELL

Has been very surprised at how well it has hung in here. Haven't had the economic downturn yet that necessitates the tightening and thinks that is still coming. This would give you another leg down.

HOLD

A very strong, progressive pursuer of acquisitions. Expects it to continue to be brilliantly managed.
