Hartford Financial Services (HIG)

CAPS Rating:
**

An insurance and financial services company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides investment products, individual life, group life and group disability insurance products, and property and casualty insurance products in United States.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Found this company under the insurance tag. Sell all property insurance and casualty stocks, or see your portfolio bcome a casualty! Warren Buffett is negative on the sector and that's good enough for me. Financial sector s--t has to work iits way through the whole goose.

Scary, but me thinks HIG may have hit bottom. (This isn't Lehman, by the way. Slightly different company.)

market leader that is heavily involved in life and investments to smooth out the insurance side. The insurance side will be more profitable in year to two years. In meantime the others in this sector will lose money. Insurance has been beat down mainly due to all financials with little exposure to subprime

insurance sucks & is nothing more than legal extortion ... The industry is going to be getting sued a while lot more than normal ... They've been busy writing in BS that doesn't cover X if X already happened with new insurance contracts the past few years ... this is starting to show itself after the CA wildfires & other recent natural disasters ...
