Closing Thoughts
All three themes were recurring, and each had a streak of 1. Life Insurance came back after a gap of 202 days, compared with 7 days for Petrochemicals.
A Korean news report from Oct 17 said Hanwha Life Insurance bought a stake in a leading US peer-to-peer lender. The open question is whether these gains last beyond a single session.
