This insurance company is conserative run company. 87% of the total assets attributable to Aflac are in Japan. The health care issues in US does not effect their core buisness. The insurance sector have needed products for the consumer and businesses.
Competitive advantage is their cutting edge technology , branding of the duck , disturbtion channels and diversity of product lines.
Aflac’s business generates excess capital with remarkably high rates of return given the high regulatory capital level requirements. The Company has continued to return this excess capital to their shareholders through share repurchases and increasing dividends,
I bought at 30.66. AFL has a fair value price of 88.54 using discount cash flow model at the current price of 45.50 with margin of saftey of 51 %. Keep this stock for three years til the fair value price will give you s 31.15 % yearly return and five year return 16 % a year. Time is on your side with a great undervalue company. Not bad for boring insurance company!

Probably a buy in the 30s. Never buy when the whole market is going down. I'm calling a top and down from here.

Though some may be worried about the effects of Obama's health care plan, that's silly. Well over half of AFL's business is done in Japan.

With an outstanding dividend payment record and no signs of that stopping, share price recovering with upside room remaining, plus a terrific advertising campaign here and a solid market base in Japan, to act as a counterweight - what's not to like?

What is going to happen to the insurance program if Obama has his way?
