Been holding SYA for close to 3 years...THE PPS has flipped from 13 to 31....very nice future too.
merger is good for me
SYA is just one of my positive plays...IFUS and MVTG will be big winners over the next two years.
YES, sometimes good things can happen if you understand an industry like insurance.
Symetra Financial has been a great hold for me......I originally thought they would buy AVIVA,which was purchased by Athene...
Nice double for me at 26
Just been holding SYA for awhile since 13...
Bought SYA at 13 in Dec 2012 in hopes Buffet would have bought Aviva...Now at 24 and holding
Yes....but missed by .05 and also on revs. Let's see how this holds up as it looks like lots knew lower earnings and for a long time,

i'm just holding original purchases at 13.....Strong insurance carrier
SYA ia a great insurance play..My two other plays riskier but higher reward in 2014...IFUS and MVTG...BOTH SHOULD DOUBLE MY YEAR END
GNW had some bad news today but it has moved from under a dollar to over 13 dollars since my original purchase. I thought SYA might have purchased AVIVA but Athene bought it and spun off life division to another company...glty
News just keeps getting better...Bought at 13 and just been holding. Wish I had bought more.
Symetra Financial (NYSE:SYA): Q2 EPS of $0.48 beats by $0.05.
Revenue of $547.1M (+6.6% Y/Y) beats by $17.97M.

Symetra’s ‘Don’t Fear 65’ Online Ad Campaign Features Fred Willard
Today : Monday 11 October 2010
Adding a splash of humor to the daunting topic of retirement planning, Symetra Life Insurance Company today rolled out the latest phase of its “Don’t Fear 65” awareness campaign with online videos featuring Emmy-nominated character actor Fred Willard. The campaign challenges people to live a fearless retirement, supported by resources and interactive financial planning tools on DontFear65.com.
Best known for his film work in Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show, as well as continuing roles in the Emmy-winning TV series Modern Family and Everybody Loves Raymond, Willard appears in three new video shorts hosted on Symetra’s DontFear65.com website. Willard also is featured in online ads directing consumers to the site.
“‘Don’t Fear 65’ is more than an awareness campaign; it’s a call to action,” said Jim Pirak, Symetra vice president of Corporate Marketing. “With the confidence of many retirees shaken by the economic downturn, Don’t Fear 65 encourages people to take charge of their financial future and approach retirement with optimism. As the new face of our campaign, Fred Willard adds a sense of fun to this increasingly important topic.”
In the web videos, Willard is seen on a Sunday drive with an actor playing his grandson. “Grandpa” gives the boy dubious financial advice in vintage Fred Willard style. He regales his grandson with a series of observations about staying healthy, planning for retirement and achieving important milestones in retirement. A series of title cards are interspersed throughout the videos, countering the questionable advice from Grandpa with sound information about how Symetra’s income annuity products can help build guaranteed income for life.
The campaign will run nationally through banner ad placements on websites frequented by retirees and pre-retirees, including MSN, Yahoo, WSJ.com, MarketWatch.com, Barrons.com, SmartMoney.com, Kiplinger.com, and online media outlets on the Tribal Fusion ad network.
In addition to the videos, the refreshed Don’t Fear 65 website is rich with retirement planning tools and information, such as licensed articles from Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine; financial calculators to determine how long savings will last; and an advisor referral service. Now in its third year, the campaign website is a popular resource for Symetra distribution partners to use with their clients as they build financial plans.
Symetra worked on the updated campaign with Seattle-based Copacino+Fujikado.
yea she does...
She does need a kick in the...
Maybe that will help jump start this thing
Heyyyyyy.....cool!

Thursday 01/21/2010 10:27 AM ET - MorningNotes
27,000,000 shares @ $12 - 14 Managers: BofA Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Barclays Capital People keep asking us, "why do you like this deal?". Easy, Symetra is a 50 year old insurance company that weathered the financial crisis very well while many other insurers got hammered. BRK owns 26%. Warren Buffett is not a seller
....................................
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. life insurer Symetra Financial Corp (SYA.N) opened 5.8 percent above its initial public offering price on Friday and was up as much as 9.2 percent in early trades on the New York Stock Exchange.
Symetra, which counts Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N) as one of its investors, sells group health, retirement and life insurance, and employee benefits.
The company on Thursday sold 30.4 million shares for $12 each, raising about $364.8 million. It originally planned to sell 27 million shares for between $12 and $14 each.
This is the second time Symetra has tried to go public. It first filed for an IPO in 2007, but pulled the deal in October 2008 during the worst of the financial crisis.
This time, it cut the size of the deal -- both from its 2007 filing, and again, in October. Majority investors Berkshire and White Mountains Insurance Group Ltd (WTM.N) also said they would not sell any shares.
In the initial 2007 filings, both Berkshire and White Mountains had planned to reduce their respective 26.3 percent stakes in Symetra to 15.2 percent.
Symetra expects net proceeds from the IPO of about $208.8 million. It said in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that its board of directors has not yet determined how it will use the proceeds, but said they would likely go to general corporate purposes including contributions of capital to its insurance and other subsidiaries.
Symetra reported revenue of $1.3 billion in the nine months that ended September 30, up from $1.1 billion in the year-earlier period. The company reported net income of $96.2 million, up from $27 million.
Joint book-runners for the offering are Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs & Co and Barclays Capital. They have the option to purchase an additional 4.05 million shares.
Shares in the Bellevue, Washington-based company opened at $12.70 and traded as high as $13.11.
