Bought a little bit of ASI at the close @17.34$. yes it was me who got the lowest price for the day :-). Note that this may not be the lowest price for long, since they are supposed to announce earnings today. I believe ASI is cheap P/B (even tangible book ) insurance play, nothing else. Mostly short tail insurance so no big worries about interest rates and bonds (just small ones <g>).

Back into RGA at 50.21$. (Starting position). David Merkel is an insurance guru I follow and he likes RGA and think it is a better business than life Insurance. RGA book stands at 60$ book (without AOCI or unrealized gains on bonds) or 90$ including AOCI. The article below makes a credible case for RGA:
