P&C insurance operations are ran very well. There is no moat (durable competitive advantage), but it doesn't need one. It uses float money to invest in outstanding companies with moats. Has consistently smoked the S&P with less standard deviation.

From the 1986 IPO to the year end of 2009, MKL has grown its book value at an annual rate of 23%. That's really all that I care about. The fact that one can purchase that earning power for a 20% premium to book makes this a true bargain.

Next B.H.? Without Buffet? That's like saying you're going to have the next Dirty Harry who isn't Clint Eastwood. I'm sorry it isn't going to happen. B.H. didn't make Buffett, he made B.H.
