Question for anyone.

Years ago I bought a straight life insurance policy with a mutual insurance company that is now known as the Principal Group.

They are "demutualizing" which means they are changing from policy-holder ownership to stockholder ownership, offering stock to policy holders and doing an IPO.

They are a huge company, handling more 401K plans than anyone else.

I can take money at the IPO price that is long term capital gains or take stock. It's a good bit, about 25% of the face value of the policy.

Does anyone have any feel for how good insurance stocks are?
