Combined ratio below 90% for previous quarter and six month periods. Relatively quiet hurricane season so far. Insurance is cyclical and coming out of a rough market with significant competition. Once the johnny-come-lately's are thinned due to mis-pricing risk the sector will pick up. Someone posted Buffett is bearish on the sector- Buffett does not issue market calls. And BRK's primary provider of cash for investing is and has been float from insurers for decades. See also FFH and MKL.

There is less momentum, less volume, and less buying going on. We are in the last part of this rally.
