Pasad, I wish you are right (new buying opportunity below BV) but I doubt the stock will move dramatically on the Q3 news.
- We should welcome the Combined Ratios improvement. But no major disaster, no hurricane, and hard market pricing are the main reasons behind it.
- On the investment side the (unrealised and realised) results continue to be awful. Who is surprised or scared on this board?
-Bbry, is the only source of concern, not only for the distraction, not only bcse FFH initial theories were totally wrong and could continue to be but because they are now facing huge pressures (media - political - credibility) and scrutiny. Not exactly the best way to work in a " disciplined , no ego, no vanity" atmosphere.
They had faced much bigger challenges in the past :-) but as usual with their Q report they are quick to point out what goes "well" and quite slow to admit what went "wrong" , our job and pleasure to sort it out ....
