A couple of positives to ponder going into 2000

- expanding beyond Ontario. Now operating in Alta and BC. Seeking approval to operate in Man, Sask, NS and PEI.

- HCG's natural target client group, self-employed workers and consultants, are becoming a larger proportion of the workforce

- HSL now offering Internet banking, including applying for mortgages over the 'Net

- once approved, HSL's conversion to a trust company will allow it to offer even more services

- P/E is a low 7.7 in spite of impressive growth record

- book value now up to $2.61/share, minimizing downside risk

- conservative lending policies have resulted in net impaired loans rates that compare favorably with those of the big banks (e.g. HCG at 0.26% for 1998 while CIBC was at 0.24% and BNS at 0.36%.

My core holdings are all in the hi-tech area but I'm convinced that the small-cap value players like Home Capital will also have their turn in the sun.
