Parsad Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 An FBR analyst is suggesting that Berkshire and/or Fairfax should buy XL Capital and improve the investment returns. I think it is pure speculation, but it would be interesting to see Berkshire and Fairfax do a joint deal, not unlike Berkadia, and work together on XL. I think that would be one of the highlights of Prem's career to finally do a substantial deal with Berkshire. He's done smaller ones where they've shared purchases of preferred shares or notes, but not something like a Berkadia. I would love to see it!

Guest Bronco Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Is XL bermuda based? I thought Buffett's opinion on the Bermudas was that he thought the 4% premium tax was way too low? Any conflict of interest here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
