I've been watching Loews for a while, getting an understanding of the business, and a few things are clear:
1) This is a well-run company. Management is smart by every definition.
2) Financials are solid.
3) At $37, it really appears to be a good value for long-term buy.
I'm jumping in.

As usual, Loews is trading at a steep discount to its value on a sum-of-the-parts basis, which is reasonably easy to determine given the fact that many of its pieces are public companies.

Great management team that opportunistically deploys capital to maximize shareholder returns. Expect them to keep buying back shares and making infrequent but profitable acquistions. You don't often get companies like this for 80% of book value.

Great company run by smart people.
Hold this one for years.

Loews is a diversified investor with several irons in the fire, including CNA insurance, Diamond offshore, boardwalk pipeline owns two interstate natural gas pipeline systems and has14,200 miles of pipeline serving 11 states. Highmont Exploration and production, the newest subsidiary concentrates only on its permian basin play in Texas. A few years ago Loews sold tobacco company and other businesses trying to position itself to weather the coming hyper inflation that comes when a country borrows 40% or more to survive when just a few taxpayers foot the bill for everyone, including those who get more back at tax time than they paid in. Lowes sits on 4.5 billion in cash and is in control of its own destiny. Buybacks with big cash balances have reduced the number of shares to about one third the number of shares in 1970.

The same family has run this machine for decades, know what they are doing. They are bouncing back, on their way up. If you are into LTBH this one should be on your watch list.

They have a lot more then just shops...

I like that they own DO, and that theyre under book value. To me, this is what Buffett describes as "the fat pitch"

This is a back door way to play an up swing in drilling for new oil and gas through the Loews holdings in those areas. These guys have a good track record over a long time, to make this a little more comfortable
