Well done, and thanks for additional insight.

Do not forget, insurance companies, health, life, home, auto, do not sit on the monthly premiums we pay them. That money is generally invested on Wall Street. When the Street pays off well, they get a lot of bang for their (our) bucks. When the market falls and stays down for a spell OUR insurance rates generally go up.
