Overpaid for PYRE at $5.17. PYRE fell from $25 because of its flawed risk models and its very high risk re-insurance contracts. It was an accident waiting to happen well before Katrina. Anytime they got wiped out, seemlying recapitalised by… More

I am long several insurance companies in real life with shares and call options in ENH, AHL, AGII, FSR, etc. AGII is one of the cheapest on a P/E and P/B basis. It is not clear why they are being punished so much right now - I don't really see their forward earnings potential declining. Insurance in general is out of favor despite a seemingly healthy future, and I think investors who are patient enough will be rewarded.

This is about the 7th time they have hit the $26 since 2005 - and not once have they dipped significantly below the current price. So if you like TA, that is a reason for this falling knife to hit the floor sometime soon.

Member Avatar rorshey (97.55) Submitted: 2/21/2008 12:44:36 PM : Outperform Start Price: $37.69 AGII Score: -13.79

PROS:

.89 Capacity Ratio.

1.3B surplus for Internation/Specialty (Re)

Trades less than BV.

High growth prospects.

Merger creates synergy and Peleus adds high growth aspect to stable portion of business.

CONS:

Systematic Risk - mainly subprime issues. Can also be unsystematic, depending on Argo's exposure to subprime market in their investment portfolio.

Weak Re and Insurance pricing. High competition and uncertainty of catastrophic weather events and global warming (how real is it?).
