Progressive Insurance is hosting the half time of the Super Bowl. They are also trying to set up their sales of insurance over the internet as much as possible. I switched all of my autos and trucks over to Progressive last month when I found they beat all competitors by about 8 - 12% and their customer service was par excellence. I called and was quoted a price. When I received the policy in the mail it was another 3% cheaper than quoted and it was because of my carrying a higher deductible for the last 5 years on my previous policy. I was pleased and have moved all of my business to them. Now for the coup'de-grace (sp) Their earnings for the quarter was under what the street expected and their stock fell today by *** $30 *** !!!!!! This is not a company that is going away!!! They are consistently one of the big winners of the street and very stable. This is in my opinion a great opportunity to buy at a very good price. Take a look at this article. biz.yahoo.com I am glad you asked the question I had no idea this had happened and will take advantage of this. It looks like a long term hold. One for the IRA.
