Investing in an insurance company with hurricane season facing you and the fact that here in Texas.....one year later the various laws firms are running 24-7 ads for new clients as the result of last years Hurricane Ike (these lawyers aren't wasting their money on expensive TV ads if they didn't know that the potential and growing client list is madder than hell that one year later the likes of Allstate, Farmers , and State Farm are still holding up claim payments. If you see one hurricane form in the Atlantic heading for the mainland...........watch out below for the price of Allstate stock....(IMO)
