"More great numbers from P&C insurers with $CB handily beating estimates. @ACIPartnerhship also posted about Munich Re increasing guidance. I think this all bodes well for $FFH.TO but its more complex than the comps. PSA: follow James if you care about financials $CB reported nice Q3 earnings. Specifically of note worthy was agriculture with underwriting year-to-date combined ratio to 91.7%. Chubb is the largest crop writer wrt premiums. Bodes well for $FFH.TO as they write nearly $1B in agriculture premiums. https://t.co/WI7x2BtKkt $CB reported nice Q3 earnings. Specifically of note worthy"

"I think $CB hasnt done much year because of their bond portfolio positioning as opposed to banking fears. BVPS growth is low despite strong earnings. Its still trading at a decent multiple of 1.6x. @Gugo907 This is a static [--] post portfolio so cant really adjust/ take profits / reallocate etc. TLT opened the year well.

"@GaelanHanlon Passive and quant go hand-in-hand. Quants like quality and momentum which makes those stocks rise in the index. That makes all of the index huggers (most active managers) chase those same names which makes them rise more. Valuation doesnt factor in much it seems"

"Im one of those idiots. I think the lack of passive quants liquidity can often make microcaps trade cheaper to intrinsic value vs liquid well covered large caps which often trade at or above IV. Its just a supply vs demand argument but the company has to ultimately execute"

"@CloneShameless @evfcfaddict @SchopenhauerCap With cash earning over 5% and the PIK at 6% nominally its an easy economic decision to hold the cash. It has optionality in the current environment.
