Just last month, one of those Fools, djohn1969, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:

Homeowners Choice is an extremely fast growing property and casualty insurance company in Florida. Despite the fact that the stock has more than tripled in the past 12 months, HCII still has plenty more room to grow. The stock pays a solid 3.5% dividend yield and the payout ratio is only about 20% so there is plenty of room to grow the dividend too. The naysayers who are not willing to do the homework to find the facts argue that a hurricane would significantly harm earnings, but the fact is that the company's liabilities are very limited by reinsurance.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Homeowners Choice may not be your top choice.
