| BUY | 12.650 | Derek Webb, CFA | Bullish on this one. With this you get the mutual fund company and the investment bank. As we go through a recovery all these businesses are improving substantially. 1.1% yield. | 2009-10-29 | |
| BUY | 11.100 | Bruce Campbell | More than likely BNS becomes the ultimate owner. Reorganized their wealth management unit last week. | 2009-09-15 | |
| Comment | 5.300 | Michael Smedley | Seems to be moving up but he doesn't know why since financials are under stress. Great assets. | 2009-02-13 | |
| Comment | 4.000 | Norman Levine | Goodman family has no desire to sell so don't buy for takeover possibilities. Will probably do okay in the long run but in the short-term their income is slowing. Would prefer a company that is more focused on shareholders needs, not family’s. | 2008-12-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 12.800 | Duncan Stewart | (Market Call Minute.) Great company. Well run. Probably over exposed to the mutual fund side. Bit of a problem for the next little while. | 2008-07-28 | |
| SELL | 16.850 | Norman Levine | If you own, consider taking some profits but keep some shares to see what happens. | 2008-01-07 | |
| HOLD | 20.450 | David Burrows | Probable takeover. There are motivated buyers and it is going to be very difficult for the company to turn down a good bid. | 2007-12-04 | |
| VAGUE | 18.530 | David Baskin | There has been no noise from potential bidders, however people (and he) believes that there is "another shoe to drop". Believes an enhanced bid will emerge that the board will find difficult to turn down. | 2007-10-23 | |
| SELL | 19.050 | Ross Healy | Whenever you get a company that is in play, you are really rolling the dice. If you own, you might consider taking a little off the table. | 2007-10-05 | |
| Comment | 17.400 | Norman Levine | Near term fundamentals do not matter. This stock may be in play with Scotia (BNS-T) having bought 18% and CI Financial (CIX.UN-T) making an offer above what the bank paid. Question is, will the Goodman family tender to CI, will they encourage Scotia to pay more, are they going to find another bidder or will they not allow a takeover. | 2007-10-02 | |
| Comment | 17.300 | Chyanne Fickes | Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) just completed an agreement for 18% of the stock. CI Financial (CIX.UN-T) is also interested, but have to put a memorandum to the board. Until that happens, we won't know what will happen. An arbitrage play at this point. | 2007-10-01 | |
| Comment | 17.300 | Michael Sprung | Bank of Nova Scotia has just acquired 18%. CI Financial (CIX.UN-T) is trying to acquire as well. The Goodmans family controls majority shares and they can pick and choose. | 2007-10-01 | |
| Comment | 18.250 | Paul Harris, CFA | One of the problems is that it is an A and B structure and the Goodman family has voting control. It's a valuable asset. | 2007-09-27 | |
| HOLD | 18.300 | David Baskin | Hoping for bidding war, definitely a play. | 2007-09-26 | |
| HOLD | 16.980 | Peter Brieger | Would definitely hold. | 2007-09-25 | |
| WEAK BUY | 16.980 | Bruce Campbell | Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS-T) made an offer to buy 18%, which was followed by a higher offer from CI Financial (CIX.UN-T), which was rejected. Current price is halfway between the two. He thinks Scotia might come back with a higher offer. Very risky, but maybe worth a shot. | 2007-09-25 | |
| BUY | 15.100 | Robert Floyd | Offers a variety of interesting mutual funds as well as wealth management. A lot of growth potential. | 2007-02-13 |
