I try my best not to fall in love with a stock since it has never worked to my advantage with women, but this stock just keeps making me money. I sell it short and then go long, and it's like the stock knows what I need it to do, and it does it. My ex-wives never did that.

Trading at about 40% of book value, pays a 2% dividend and has a true franchise. Exactly what I look for in a stock... you just have to wait five years.

P/E among lowest in the industry... should recover nicely as they return to respectable profitability in 2012.

Low p/e and p/b. Essentially broke even this past quarter but 2q is always weak. Trading at less than half of their tangible book, this ones a no brainer

I'm bargain hunting after the volitility the past month. Hartford Financial Services is 30% down from it's February 52 week high. While this could mean it was over priced in February, or it could mean conditions have drastically decayed, I don't see signs of either case other than typical weather related issues. True, the hurricane season is early, but so far seems quiet. Hopefully this will offset the tornados this summer that while within statistical norm, their effect on more populated areas was near records. Insurance company's are hedged and carry reserves. While they would rather not use them, if they are well run, single disasters will not have lasting effects. While there are still some liabilities outstanding Hartford Financial Services is priced for a firesale. The book value is now much less than one, (or even) at 0.49. The P/S shows strength at 0.43. Margins are in the 10% range and Hartford Financial has tremendous positive cash flow on solid income. (Income was $500 Million PLUS each of the last three quarters). Hartford Financial Services was really hurt by the 2007-2008 meltdown and played some unnecesary games with regulators, (bank holding company) to have access to funds it didn't need. It has a few more adjustments to make, but overall it's not the disaster it looked like back in 2007-2008 and it's not a disaster waiting to happen from natural occurances. Hartford deserves a break now, much moreso than it did in February when it was trading closer to book value. I'd like to see the dividend start back up again as Hartford and most insurers are known for stability and income. Currently there is plenty of margin to start increasing it again and then maybe it will start to show signs of it's former success.

Not only a long-time insurance company, they have several lines that cater to an aging population. As the Boomers are hitting their retirement years, expect sales to pick up drastically.

Strong fundamentals, lots of short sellers out there but seem to be mistaken because company is showing strong fundametals in leverage and capital despite hurting cash. Also company has good momentum right now. Just not enough downside for me to consider HIG falling short of estimates.
