They may have been hurting after 2005 but I understand they reaped windfall profits after a relatively quiet 2006.

Its a business. We live in a capitalist free market system.
If that changes, let me know.

They may have been hurting after 2005 but I understand they reaped windfall profits after a relatively quiet 2006. From the article: In this year's third quarter, Allstate posted a $1.16 billion profit, helped by an unexpected lack of major storms, compared with a year-earlier $1.55 billion loss.
It always help to read the article.
