The Market - A Potential Play

Here's the evolution of what I'll eventually get to - please keep up:





A) According to USA Today, a study by Modern Bride states the average wedding costs roughly $27,852.

B) I am planning a wedding. If you are reading this you probably already know this.

C) Studies show that for approximately 1% or 2% of that cost, a wedding can be insured. See my post from early May about looking for a provider. [The Fireman's Fund also provides wedding insurance.]

D) I am interested in wedding insurance. Again, if you are reading this you probably already know this.

E) This is supposed to be a very active year with 17 named storms and 9 potential hurricanes. Read about it here.

F)Mom lives in Florida. Her house is equipped with hurricane shutters.


What does this all mean? (keep scrolling...)


Insurance stocks might be a good play with increasing premiums (& love - the Branjelina kind).

Related, how is Affinity (Parent company Aon Corporation - AOC) not a good play seeing that WedSafe seems to be the primary wedding insurer out there. I've yet to dig into their financials. Thoughts?
