Morningstar's report 10/5/07
Loews Corporation (NYSE:LTR - News)
Industry: Insurance
Premium to Fair Value Estimate: 45%
From the Analyst Report: "An 89% interest in commercial insurer CNA Financial (NYSE:CNA - News) accounts for about 53% of Loews' equity, 57% of its revenue, and close to 100% of its moat deficiency. CNA's asbestos liabilities are large and uncertain, which increases the risk that Loews' cash will be used to keep CNA solvent. CNA frequently incurs underwriting losses, and its average return on equity is far below its cost of equity. CNA has been on the mend for more than a decade, and we don't anticipate substantial improvement. What's worse, Loews' management has given no indication of plans to excise this cancer."

Acquiring low-risk natural gas to add to its diversified holdsings. Is able to take advantage of long-term value opportunities.

What's not to like about a company run by great management with strong assets under management and a low P/B. LTR has a great history and there's no reason to believe the future isn't just as great.
Recs
Great mix of businesses. Volitility is a minimum. Large ownership in deep water driller (DO)
Recs
Steady return of 12% the past year and stock experienced low volatility, 15.9% standard deviation. I've calculated the sharpe ratio (return per unit of risk) to 1.9 which is high. To sum up, expect decent return with little risk.

nice holdings

A nice mutual fund play with no loads! The sum of the parts discount protects this stock on the downside. on the upside, the different entities are all winners. I actually got into this as a more diversified way to get exposure to Diamond Offshore

Cigarettes, insurance, hotels, and oil these are a few of my favorite things. I'm going long on CAPS and short on Karma with this one. Good thing this is not a karma game.
Recs
Nice affordable conglomerate

Although I'm uncomfortable buying with the price up 50% each of the past 2 years, with market cap equal to 38% of net current assets this still looks to be a value stock that I can't pass up.
