re LPHI - this is straight from LPHI website. if this does not sound like something that needs regulation, I don't know what does. If they ever get a newblip that claims they rip of old ladies having Alzheimers, the stock is going to drop 30% in one day. In addition, I read they extend boundaries by going mainstream while maintaining quality (whatever hat means). lphi.com A life settlement is simply the sale of an existing life insurance policy by a terminally ill or elderly person to another party. The price of the policy is negotiated and sold by the owner at a discount to the face amount. The purchaser then collects the full amount paid out under the policy. Life settlements are attractive to policyholders because they provide a secondary market for life insurance policies that are no longer needed or wanted. Investors are attracted to life settlements because they offer the opportunity for potentially high returns that are not tied to stock or bond markets, interest rates, or business cycles.
