CAPS Rating:
***

An holding company which operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries in the property and casualty insurance business.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Kingsway will struggle until it can dump its subsidiary, Lincoln General. Watch for the stock to continue to drop but, rebound when they sell off Lincoln General.

This company is ripe for a major fall. A,M, Best has downgraded them and they are holding tons of bad business in their Southern United sub-prime auto. With a great deal of exposure in the southern states they cannot possibly spread their risk in sub-prime auto to offset their losses in trucking.





Look for this one to hit a dollar a share sooner rather than later. SHORT THIS PIG

A company dealing with trucking and "non standard" insurance. Kingsway's stock has been on a downward trend for for the past year, leading to an undervalued situation. The company seems to be well managed and earnings are turning upwards, leading me to believe that there will be a price reversal in the short or medium term.

KFS is a specialty insurer with divisions in the US and Canada. although most of their recent profits have been derived from investment income, they have shown excellent resourcefulness in expanding revenues and underwriting through an almost surgical approach to the fringe vehicle market. long term underlying growth is in the low 20's giving this stock a spectacular PEG of less than 0.5 note: it is going through a slump right now after a nice runup, and appears extremely undervalued. target = $30.
