1) Do You Have The Right Insurance For Your Portfolio? + Vic Wisemann’s Thoughts on: AIG, HIG, LNC, PRU, PFG, ALL, AMP, TRV

Vic Wisemann Contributor

The turmoil in the financial markets has created a highly challenging environment for the insurance industry, forcing many companies to take immense write-downs. This trend is expected to continue at least through the first half of next year, though there are some early signs of an economic recovery. Also, structural economies of scale have pushed the industry toward consolidation. While enormous financial support from the government rescued AIG (AIG) from collapsing, many other firms remain under tremendous pressure or have not been able to survive. Competition within the segments of the industry has reduced as a result of rising mergers and acquisitions. This has increased the market shares of the largest firms.

Persistently soft market conditions and the continuing market crisis are expected to stifle organic growth for the industry in the near term. Growth will likely come as a result of consolidation in the industry. Should the economy see evidence of real recovery, expect the overall condition to improve in the second half of 2010.

8) Exclusive Special Report! “Can The Book Industry Turn The Page On A Disastrous Recession?”

Be one of the first to read and reap from this options trade based report.

Summary: Book sales fell 1.5% from 2007 to 2008.  Customers are turning to internet sites such as Amazon to meet their needs rather than traveling to their local bookstores.  New technologies are also fueling the decline of book industry fixtures such as Barnes & Noble and Borders Books.  Gadgets like the Kindle and Sony Reader are further popularizing the concept of e-books at the expense of in-print versions.  Publishers too face challenges as they struggle to uphold their copyrights in the face of massive scanning sessions by large companies in an attempt to post novels online.  How will these shifts in technology affect the book industry?  Which companies will profit and which will perish?  We will discuss these questions and other changes that might occur.

Stocks Covered: Barnes & Noble (BKS), Borders Group (BGP), Amazon.com (AMZN), McGraw-Hill Cos. (MHP), Sony (SNE)
Target Returns: Up to 29.9% or 151.4% Annualized*
Downside Protection: Up to 19.0%
Investor Level: Beginner to Advanced
Risk Level: Moderate Relative Risk
