"Investors Seek Profit In Strangers' Deaths"

Thank jeff for this one.

Did anybody else read this article today? I'm going to be working for a company called Integrity Settlement Group (part of the Meltzer Group) this summer doing exactly whats described in the article - acting as a broker between hedge funds and individuals selling their life insurance policies.

Perhaps we will be buying life insurance as investment vehicles in a few years?

Intriguing stuff, I'll give you all an update once I've started work.
