VP 1 - Stocks for insurers with CAT-exposure fell this week. Just because flood doesn't fall under a typical homeowners policy doesn't mean those insurers aren't screwed (really depends on their reinsurance program).

@VP1 - Fair enough, no disagreement there

like

@GS2, wtf...in Sec Div we can trade single name securities. I'm not in IB 😎

Bad trade brah. No one has flood insurance

@VP1 🤣, so you think...
