Manulife Bitch Slaps Sun Life
Sun Life (SLF) pledges to keep dividend according to Dean O’Connor, Sun Life President. Manulife (MFC) promptly bitch slaps him when their CEO Donald Guloien declares that it’s unwise for high ratio dividends in financial services. Too much Jerry Springer not enough CEO coming from that exchange.

Manulife shocked its investors and broke their trust. Sun Life is saying they will not break that trust. Battling for shareholder loyalty is the stealth battle which will affect perceptions for a decade into the future.

    Manulife Financial Bears Watching

    [Excerpted from Bill Cara's Daily Report]

    Fitch Ratings affirms “AA” on Manulife Financial (MFC), but drops the outlook to negative. Manulife is a Canadian life insurer that, under strong management, a solid balance sheet and rapid growth, became a Cara 100 company. But 2008 has proved a challenge to many of the best quality companies in the world, including this one.
