I hope all readers had a quiet Xmas, Hanukkah, Saturnalia, Presentmas or whatever else you happened to be celebrating. This year, I started out wanting to write the usual overview post, but quickly discovered that the Random Thoughts posts I had been putting out over Continue reading
Today some topics we have written about before where something new and/or interesting came up. Here goes. On health insurance vs. nutrition advice: I finally got around to reading the study by Credit Suisse Research Institute: “Fat, the new health paradigm”. Although there isn’t much Continue reading
Hard to get back to “normal” blogging after seeing the news from Paris over the weekend, so just short today. Thanks to Jean Jullien (@jean_jullien on Twitter) for putting out the image on the left to the public domain. My thoughts go out to the Continue reading

I’ll be focusing on some country level information, specifically the Anglo-Saxon countries in the study, i.e. the U.K., Continue reading
Only one thought today. Two weeks ago, the econoblogsphere – which I tend to follow when time permits – gained a fabulous participant: the Bank of England launched their blog, Bank Underground.[1] Even better, their second post was on a hot insurance topic: driverless cars, Continue reading
New study, new data, so I thought I’d revisit a topic I explored before, about the willingness of consumers to share data to improve either their premium paid, their convenience, or their risk/safety.
