Stock in companies that produce goods is typically owned by a variety of investors, including individual retail investors, institutional investors like mutual funds and pension funds, and company insiders. These stakeholders purchase shares to gain ownership in the company and potentially benefit from its profitability through dividends and appreciation in stock value. Additionally, companies can also own stock in each other, forming strategic partnerships or joint ventures.

Are mutual insurance companies inherently stronger than stock or public insurance companies and why?

The mutual business model in no way implies that it will be a stronger company. The only difference between mutual and stock companies is who the profits are paid to. If a company can not produce underwriting profits, it doesn't matter if a stockholder or a policyholder owns the company it will not last. Underwriter profits are fundimental to the overall operation ratio of a company and the operating ratio determines how well the company is doing. Chad Joiner http://insurance-racsun.blogspot.com
