Thanks, Spekulatius, I hadn't seen that report. Negative and scary about HIG. I have a a few shares, and will keep my position small. I have been considering MET if I can get it at lower price. CS have PRU as outperform. My intent has been to add to PRU if it drops further. I like the efforts it makes in non-USA markets. ======= ======= Stocks continue dropping; I still can't get fills on many. BWP. Nice call there. I only just keep looking at ETP, ETE: These lp's and tax forms deter me. It seems as if ETP/ETE will provide forms, info, help, and assistance. That's nice, but it's just what I don't want. I don't want help/assistance. I want easy/simple/no problem/no issue.

Okay, now for MET. Jmo of course. In for a few shares. Will up position if/as stock falls on no further adverse news. Relatively low p/e, p/bk. -------------- So they disappointed Wall Street with a miss. First in five years, it says here: biz.yahoo.com And they had some large natural catastrophe losses they had to pay up on. Eighteen months from now, it could be a different - better - story.

Big-name insurance companies. I'm getting beat up on my positions here as credit crises turmoil hits and the uncertainty makes these stocks so much more volatile than they've ever been (it seems to me). I gave up on MET at closed position with a loss today. MET was about $35 yesterday (Tuesday) when they announced they were going to issue new shares. The stock tanked after the news, yet MET went ahead and issued stock @$26.50. They said they didn't have to do this but rather wanted to for the money for opportunities that they saw in the market. I added to ALL and a very little bit to an exploratory position in CB. I continue to hold HIG and UTR, plus a few others. finance.yahoo.com
