Waiting for huge jump from my insurance ownings. This has done better than MRH, but MRH may be bought, so we'll see... Both companies are well managed, and in different segments of the industry (MRH is in re-insurance). One of my more risky… More

I work in the PC sector. This sector makes the banker's sub prime actions look positively brilliant.

No CEO has the guts to call off one of the worst price wars since 1983. No underwriting discipline what so ever. Said same for the feckless AG's and State Regulators.

When the market hardens, just remind the inept AG's and regulators that they could have precluded the nonsense by proper intervention now. Sell the sector now!
