It was not a direct bailout like the U.S. Banks.

You never know how good their risk control process is until it is too late. So, investors should diversify broadly and make sure a mis-step in one of their holdings will not wipe them out.

I wasn't aware that Cdn banks received any actual bailout money. It's clear that Manulife has no predictive ability when it comes to the market - at this point they are trying to manage their risk.
