      "We're going to bring back the American Dream... bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before." - President Donald Trump

      During Trump's first term, 8 million Americans became millionaires despite constant resistance from Democrats and even some Republicans in his cabinet.

      Now, with Republicans controlling both houses and the Fed cutting rates, everything is aligned for even greater growth.

    Shares of the property and casualty insurer are up about 23 percent in the past year, beating out the S&P 500 by nearly 10 points. The move has also come as earnings have jumped 20 percent, and as profitability has hit over 16 percent.
    Action to take: Shares trade at about 5 times earnings, and just a slight premium to book value, so the insurer likely has more room to run higher. Investors should consider shares as a long-term holding, especially as the stock is a dividend growth play offering a 3.4 percent yield right now.

    Traders could make a decent return on the July $25 calls. Last going for about $2.20, the option is about $1.30 in-the-money. Traders can likely leverage a continued move higher into mid double-digit gains in the next few months.
