Harry Long Was Right About FMMH

Fremont Michigan InsuraCorp announced quarterly results, and they weren't pretty - http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1271245/000119312510188834/0001193125-10-188834-index.htm

 

Harry correctly expressed a worry about the growth of their personal lines business, and now it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost. What scares me most, is that they're still growing these lines at breakneck pace.

The underwriting gain on personal lines was $2.1 million in 2009.  They had an underwriting loss of $900k in Q2.  I think it's a bit early to say Harry was right.

More crappy underwriting results from Fremont.

People still want 2x BV for it though.

 

Interesting times. I think alot of people have an ownership bias.

People are out of their minds if you ask me.

 

A $20 stock that is illiquid and meets all of GG's criteria for dog with fleas catches a $29 cash bid. 

 

Harry made a good point - stock trading at $27 - take profits and move on.

 

If wild eyed crazy Biglari (I think a pearl jam song) removed his bid - you would have a 2 year wait minimum before $29 flashed in front of your eyes.  At least 2.

 

GG did say that Greed is good.  But although I haven't seen WS2, I heard the commercial - and pigs do get slaughtered.
