Know anyone with a vacant home and they need to insure it? Let me know, we can now insure them!

The text below outlines some of the benefits/features associated with this new program. Sample letters are attached below as well.

·     Pro-Rated Cancellation – Foremost’s vacant policy is written as a
full year policy, but customers can cancel at any time, subject to a minimum earned premium. Other companies may offer a three or six month policy, but they won’t refund any premium if the customer cancels during the term.

·     Up to Two Years of Coverage – Unlike most carriers, Foremost will
allow the risk to be insured for up to 24 months.

·     Higher Liability Limits – The Foremost program includes higher
liability limits than many other companies’ programs. We also offer higher deductibles.

·     Vandalism Coverage – Foremost offers optional Vandalism coverage –
many companies do not.

·     No Restrictions on Age – Some carriers don’t want older homes, but
Foremost has no restrictions on the age of the home.

Fed Suggests Economy Is Stabilizing

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Federal Reserve officials on Wednesday left official interest rates near zero but suggested the economy is on more stable ground, more confirmation that the severe recession is either already over or will be very soon.

Information received since policy makers met in June "suggests that economic activity is leveling out," they said in the statement they released at the conclusion of their two-day meeting.

Officials also offered a specific timeline for their program to buy up to $300 billion in Treasurys, making clear that they plan to end the program in October.

I wonder if GM will repo & destroy all Volt vehicles in a couple years like they did the EV1 when they realize oil companies stop funding them.
