The best Bull and Bear pitches based on recency and number of recommendations.
Boring insurance helps to anchor your portfolio with regular dividends and minimal volatility. This one's especially well situated.
I predict trouble ahead for GL. They may be profitable and a decent insurer, but they are coasting on a layer of slime, most evidenced by the Arias Agency in Pittsburgh. What happens at the bottom reflects the top.

As a former insurance actuary, I like:
(1) A business model in which the company serves identified niches for life insurance, where it costs less to acquire new business compared to competitors, providing a healthier profit margin.
(2) A strategy of reducing it's emphasis on its health insurance business, thus focusing on what it writes well - life insurance.
(3) Turning an underwriting profit which reduces TMK's need to rely fully on investment income to offset insurance losses.
(4) Strong management which owns a healthy stake in the TMK
(5) Low debt to equity (0.2), ROE = 13.6 surpasses industry, 3 year avg EPS growth surpasses industry, P/B = 1.0, P/E TTM = 7.6 , selling at 16% discount to Morningstar's recently reduced fair value.
Projected dividend is 1.4%. I think this company is a keeper.
