Even though Buffett is cautious on insurance, I like the growth opportunities for this company and the price looks right.

As technology and information exchange become better day by day, insurance quotes are becoming easier to obtain. I generally do not think the company will grow its market size due to heavy competition.

Quality, beaten down insurer advances with the S&P but at a greater percentage multiple. Unlike other insurers, it sacrificed 50% of dividend to rebuild capital rather than diluting the equity with new shares.

MFC was the baby that throw out with the bath water in the sell-off of financials early this year. MFC is a good insurance company. But if you take a long term view, LFC is better.
