Tower Completes SUAI Acquisition – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (November 16th, 2009) Writes:
New York-based Tower Group Inc. (TWGP) has completed the acquisition of Illinois-based specialty insurer, Specialty Underwriters' Alliance Inc. (SUAI).

Initial Jobless Claims Continue Decline, 502K Figure Beats Expectations

QualityStocks (November 12th, 2009) Writes:

Labor Department statistics released today showed a marked decline in initial jobless claims, extending a run of such declines.

Initial claims are an important barometer for layoffs and hiring. A 12K decline to 502,000 from the previous week, and a drop in the 4-week average to 519,750, is a strong indicator of improvement. The 4-week average is down 20% since the highpoint earlier this year, and initial claims look like those from the beginning of this year. Despite these facts, we are still well above the accepted 450,000 benchmark, which represents the point at which the labor market is theoretically adding jobs.

Continuing claims (which trail initial claims by a week) fell 2.4% to 5.6M, also beating out the expectations of market analysts. Congress has created the largest extension program to date for jobless claims, adding a total of 73 additional weeks to the base 26 weeks of benefits,

Good Luck Stevenson High School’s Economics Club

Trading School (November 5th, 2009) Writes:

About a month ago, we received a passionate email from an economics teacher at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. He informed us that he had created an Economics club at his school to increase financial literacy and show students how technical analysis can interface with their financial future. His club also participates in “The Stock Market Game” (a program of the SIFMA) to compete with other schools, both locally and nationally. After a request to have a discounted MarketClub subscription rate for his students, we decided that MarketClub would go ahead and sponsor his 6 student groups.

We were even more excited after researching this high school’s impressive reputation in the academic community. This ‘Blue Ribbon’ school (as awarded by the US Department of Education), has been listed for the last three years
