This company has consistently outperformed many of its peers. It is focused on specialty niche markets so that it is less impacted by what is going on in the general insurance marketplace. Underwriting profit is their mantra and they mean which will generate superior returns at the end of the day.

Graham formula gives me a fair value estimate of $49 (based on current earnings of $3.39 and book value of $31.57) -- with the price currently at $25.25, that's a discount of over 45%.

Yes, the insurance sector still has some problems to resolve and the market's confidence has been shaken. But I think that over the next couple of years things will get better.

This is a bid for the combination of hard-hit Financial companies taking advantage with share repurchases.

Recent good earnings are not reflected in market price. P/E is below the industry and this is a strong performer. I think we will see a P/E of 15, giving this a marktet price of $75 now. It earnings continue at the same pace, I would expect the stock to be $105 - $110 in 2 years.

Well run insurance company. Throws off a ton of cash. Reasonably priced, even at its record high market price.
