RE: RE: RE: DRIPS

RE: RE: RE: DRIPSYoda2, guess the goodwill write-off for the American side and the health care provision were
already done in Q3 2010..... and no big loop..
The only foreseeable bad news is the $2.2B goodwill write off in Q1 2011, and this would
not affect the Earnings, only the Book-value.

The Management is optimistic that in 2015 (4 years away) MFC would be earning $4B annually
Now I hope with a Q4 2010 earnings of about $1.10 we will see a dividend increase of 15%
(13 cents - 15cents) to reflect their confidence.
Earnings of $1.10 with a dividend of 15 cents.... is not asking for too much., and this will rocket the
S/P back  up.

Happy new year !!!!
