Email Address MFC Stock News HeadlinesInsider Selling: Manulife Financial Co. (TSE:MFC) Director Sells 4,243 Shares of StockDecember 6, 2024 | insidertrades.comManulife Financial Co. (TSE:MFC) Director Anthony Alex Silva Sells 1,000 SharesNovember 28, 2024 | insidertrades.comWhy I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocksBack in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."December 12, 2024 | DTI (Ad)Manulife Financial Maintains Dividend for Series 17 SharesDecember 5, 2024 | markets.businessinsider.comIs Manulife Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for 2025?December 2, 2024 | ca.finance.yahoo.comManulife reaches reinsurance deal worth $5.4-billion to free up capitalNovember 21, 2024 | theglobeandmail.comManulife Announces New Dividend Rates for Preferred SharesNovember 21, 2024 | markets.businessinsider.comManulife Financial announces C$5.4B reinsurance transaction with RGANovember 20, 2024 | markets.businessinsider.comSee More Headlines MFC Stock Analysis - Frequently Asked Questions How have MFC shares performed this year?
