GROUPON
Groupon’s stock dropped to $3, an 85% drop since it has been on the market. As I mentioned before I think initially people made money with the $10 credits they offered, but now that dried up with everyone already signed up to Groupon. Many businesses are reluctant to sign up now too. Investors feel they have hit their peak so they will have to try something new to create interest again and new growth.


INSURANCE
Those that live in the area affected by Hurricane Sandy were jolted by the effect of the storm and it’s after-effects. Some are also suffering because they didn’t have insurance, especially flood insurance. I’ve heard many stories from renters and home-owners that decided to get rid of their insurance because they couldn’t afford it. In tough times that can happen. Some are now wishing they scrimped on non-essentials instead of foregoing insurance. In an instant many of these folks lost their home and everything in it that took a lifetime to earn.

Shop around for insurance. You may be surprised at the differences in prices. We shopped our home and car insurance a few years back and are now saving $800 a year! It’s easy to get comfortable with who you have because you are afraid to switch. Doing your homework will make you comfortable switching. Ask others who they use and if they recommend their insurance company before you switch or get insurance. Be sure they will take care of you when you need them. Ask them if they will raise rates after one claim. You may have never had a claim with your current insurer. It doesn’t mean that they won’t rake you when the time comes when you need them.

Don’t think insurance is an unneeded expense. Instead of taking a chance that could take decades to recover financially, at least get basic coverage for your home, car, life, and health. Same goes for renter’s insurance. Avoiding risks will give you peace of mind.

Here are some tips on insurance:

– Your credit rating will affect how much your insurance will cost. Insurers know that people with poor credit make more claims than those with good credit according to data studies. Get your free credit report online at http://www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.

– Have a problem with an insurance claim? Call the Ohio Department of Insurance at 1-800-686-1526. The fraud hotline is 1-800-686-1527. The most complained-about insurers can be found on http://www.ohioinsurance.gov/ConsumServ/Ocs/OCSRatios.htm.

– If you raise your home insurance deductible to at least $500, your homeowner’s policy cost typically decreases by 12%. If you raise your deductible to $1,000, you can save around 25%.

– Home Value Insurance is offering insurance to guarantee the value of your house. It’s initially being offered in Ohio . The policy typically charges $20 a month for every $100,000 of home value.

– After 2004’s hurricane season, seven insurers stopped writing policies in Florida . Many have gone bankrupt. Thus insurance has increased for those in hurricane-prone areas. Before purchasing a home, be aware of the climate dangers around you – flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc. Having appropriate insurance for your assets could possibly save you tens of thousands if not more should something disastrous happen. Go to http://www.floodsmart.gov to see your flood risk level and tips on flooding. Flooding is the number one natural disaster risk. The nationwide average for flood insurance coverage is less than $500 annually. Some states and the federal government subsidize insurance companies just so there are companies that will offer insurance in their state.

– Seek insurance coverage not only for the house itself, but also the contents inside of the home. Take pictures of your property and have it stored by your insurance company so that they can authenticate the contents of your home. Give them a list of items that need to be insured.

– Go to http://www.insweb.com , http://www.accuquote.com, http://www.findmyinsurance.com, http://wwnetquote.com, http://www.answerfinancial.com, or http://www.insure.com to find the best rates for various insurance needs, including car insurance.

– Go to http://www.knowyourstuff.org to download software to create an inventory of household belongings for insurance purposes. Make sure your home insurance covers the house and the belongings in it. Give your insurance company a copy along with a trusted friend or family member.

– Some homeowner insurers will cut premiums by 5% if you’ve been with them for three to five years. Beyond five years, a 10% discount may be earned. Inquire with your insurance company.

– Some homeowner insurance companies will reduce the rates for those 55 and over. Ask them about the discount.

– Some homeowner insurance companies will lower rates if smoke detectors, burglar alarms, disaster preparedness systems, central monitoring stations, or dead-bolt locks are used. Discounts are also available for living in gated communities, having updated plumbing and electrical systems, and for repeat customers. Check to see if your community offers free smoke detectors. On a regular basis, make sure your smoke detectors work and the batteries are good.

– The percentage of premiums paid out to policyholders as benefits was 54.6% in 2007, far below the 75% level in the 1980s. Insurance may not cover as much as it did in prior years, so before purchasing a home check to see if the area is too high risk as compared to others.

– Consider getting earthquake insurance. As of 2007, Ohio had 55 quakes in the past decade. That’s roughly the same as in the previous 30 years according to figures at the Ohio Seismic Network. I even got earthquake insurance! Too many oddball earthquakes in the area, especially with fracking known to cause them.

– Consider getting insurance for other non-standard items including pest infestations, jewelry, flooding, and injuries caused by pets.

– Check insurers’ complaint ratios at http://www.naic.org.

– If you need help determining your insurance needs and have questions regarding insurance, go to the Insurance Information Institute’s web page at http://www.iii.org or http://www.unitedpolicyholders.org.

– Buy auto and home coverage together. Some insurance companies offer discounts, usually 10%, if you sign up for both. Insure wedding rings or any other items to get even better bundled rates.

– Wells Fargo, Nationwide, and other companies offer better rates for their long-time customers. Ask the companies you do business with if they offer any deals.


TOP TEN POST ELECTION PLANS
10) Use metal frame from old political signs to electrically rewire house.

9) Be on the ready to recount ballots using abacus I got as a child back in ’78 as a lame birthday gift.

8) Use heaping pile of political junk mail to insulate house.

7) Persist on finding out why I wasn’t endorsed by local newspapers as a write-in candidate for Emporer of my street.

6) After doing well taking robo-calls for months, take my answering machine on a well-deserved vacation.

5) Skip watching TV shows and watch regular commercials for nights on end.

4) Console losing candidates with ice cream sundaes and leftover Halloween candy.

3) Do my own polling after people exit bathroom.

2) Turn my attention to harnessing political rhetoric as a renewable source of energy.
