Do you really think life insurance companies would still be in business if they had to pay out the term policies with such low rates they charge? They know their probabilities, that is it! And guess what most folks have?

They don't know their stats. That's why life insurance companies always blow up in the end whenever disaster (natural or artificial) strikes.

But that's shareholders' money, along the way, the executives got paid, the sales get bonuses, and their balance sheets looks like healthy profitable companies luring people to buy their stocks.

We traders, however, answer to our own bankroll thus have to be much more responsible.

:D :D :D
