The Hartford: Only Paper Profits

Your 79 cent quarterly loss is incorrect. You got that by writing off the $5.8B remaining unrealized loss but ignoring the fact that it is smaller than a year earlier. You can't have it both ways--either write off the $13.2B from last year and then take the ensuing gain into income this year, or leave HIG's accounting alone, HIG is reporting results from this quarter, during which their unrealized loss SHRANK.
