Just too undervalued at this point. Trading at 0.8 times book value, solid management has grown book value at 10% CAGR over the past decade. Conservative for sure, made it through the financial crisis in one piece, lots of fixed income investments. Not going to set the world on fire, BUT at these levels it will come back. Trades at average 1.4 times book value over the last decade. No conference calls, no guidance, three analysts follow it, one that just flies under the radar. Not mine though, thumbs up for these guys. They aren't getting any credit 'cause the market thinks they missed the boat with this run-up. But WTM won't just invest to invest. Gotta be value there or they'll let the capital sit on the sidelines until the right deal comes along. Good for them I say.

This stock should have bottomed out. No way to go but up

Currently at $310 vs. adjusted book value of $378 for a .82 ratio (see http://www.whitemountains.com/).
mungofitch 8/11/09: "They usually trade 1-1.9 times book depending on the insurance cycle, and book usually rises a jagged 9-11%/year [...]. I plan to sell the next time they are tradnig at 1.6x adjusted book [...]. Even if it takes 7 years and they increase book at 'only' 8%/year, that's 19%/year compounded."

I like the low book value. Of course, the thumbs up from Buffet doesn't hurt either.

I don't really have any new tricks. Insurance companies make money on investing the float that they get from premiums. Stocks are cheap now so the value of the whole insurance firm goes up when the market rebounds.

Their assets are performing way better than I expected

Solely on basis that WTM is a the bottom of a very long cycle and with any luck poised for long climb back.

A bit confusing here; mlknyu stated Buffet sold his shares however james0311 hinted Buffet is the reason behind his outperform pick.
