You also have to look at relative exposure Anon,

MFC doesn't have the type of substantial exposure of providing insurance to assets or liabilities that are opaque or completely worthless to begin with.

I have to agree with moneygardener - MFC is going to pick up some high quality assets from this AIG truck as the wheels fall off. Think of it as a chop shop for high end vehicles :)!!

The events surrounding AIG were good for the insurance industy, and probably good for MFC in more ways than one. Learn from the mistakes of others and pick up some of their assets.

I consider this my PREMIER dividend stock above all the rest. So many things are great about this company no matter how you examine its operations, valuation or management (deep & talented). Glad to see us Canucks can have a positive effect on your portfolio. I also bought more on Friday and won't hesitate to again if prices stay where they are.
