5i Research Answer:

We would be fine with either, but would prefer POW. It is cheaper on valuation, and also has a solid operating business. FFH does as well (insurance) but much of its investor sentiment revolves around its ability to do M&A deals. This can make earnings more volatile (when it monetizes a transaction, earnings rise). POW also has a much higher dividend and is outperforming currently.
