I picked this to remind me to follow this stock for my sister-in-law - who worked for Berkley and was purchasing through the company plan. She no longer works for them, but their 10Qs and 10Ks have looked very good, so I've held onto it in CAPS. If I… More

I picked this to remind me to follow this stock for my sister-in-law - who worked for Berkley and was purchasing through the company plan. She no longer works for them, but their 10Qs and 10Ks have looked very good, so I've held onto it in CAPS. If I had looked at it earlier, I might have bought it instead of MKL for my real portfolio. Of course, if I had enough money that I was willing to tie it up in a single share of stock, I would always go with BRK (A or B).

insurance picks. should be relatively stable vs S&P 500, therefore should gain some good points in the event of a further S&P drop
