Schzammm, I've got a bunch of insurance stocks- life, medmal, auto, specialty. Sometimes, long-tail insurance things (like reinsurers) have come back to bite me, so I'm suspicious of the reinsurance sector. I'm not watching any stocks specific to reinsurance, although I have looked at AXS twice recently, and it's tempting, but not quite enough for me.
I have ALL on my watch list.
I like the auto insurers. As a Motley Fool article stated, auto insurance is a required thing, and it doesn't seem to have surprises for the companies like reinsurers see. Otoh, there is lots of competition (and state insurance regulation). I'm currently looking at PGR. I've bought just a few shares again of TCHC last week after being out of it for a year or so. I'm not convinced yet that this company is not a scam - they keep reporting earnings though, and given current p/e, I'm willing to risk a bet for just a few shares.
