| PAST TOP PICK | 7.960 | Richard Croft | (A Top Pick July 11/07. Down 19%.) Wanted a product that just delivered a consistent stream of income in a market that he thought was going to be range bound. Financials could rebound, but it could be a while. | 2008-07-02 | |

| BUY | 8.000 | Som Seif | Balanced portfolio of financials. Has equities, preferred shares and bonds of mainly banks and life insurers. Good ETF for broad balanced exposure. For a more targeted approach to banks he would suggest Claym Eq. Banc & Lifeco E.T.F. (CEW-T), which gives you exposure to the 6 large banks and the 4 lifecos on an equal weighted basis. (His company issues both ETF’s.) | 2008-06-30 | |

| Comment | 8.350 | Som Seif | A balanced portfolio focused on fixed income and equities across the balance sheets of the financial services companies, the banks, looking at their equities, their preferred shares, their bonds, etc. The key issue is to pick a monthly income off it. Not looking to increase distributions. | 2008-04-01 | |

| TOP PICK | 10.570 | Richard Croft | Pays about 4% dividend. You get the benefit of a group of stocks that has typically increased their dividends on a fairly regular basis. | 2007-07-11 | |
