Simple Idea: <> When the economy is doing poorly and in a recession, people start saving money rather than spending money. Businesses, therefore, don’t make as much money as they predicted based on ideal economic scenarios and don’t have money for budgeted expenses.

I believe the investing community does not currently understand these facts fully, and these stocks are majorly undervalued. < />< />< />...

The upside came primarily from increased sales in a number of product areas in both the U.S. and internationally and strong variable annuity deposits. However, overall results were hurt by massive realized investment losses and lower investment inc...
