@xvrmdf@blondesnmoney Everyone has way to much capital so risks are massively oversubscribed, rates are coming off a massive high and are getting rapidly worse. And will get a lot worse before the cycle bottoms.
Very high probability with these things they didnโt even read the application. I heard about people getting rejected similarly then the director would email and theyโd make up some excuse about a clerical error. When really they probably split the stack in half and binned it
@acorn_capital@compoundpapi@deepvalueco Itโs not bearish, itโs neutral, interest rates went up thatโs helped, but thatโs not new information. Already priced in. Looks at Lloyds like 2/3 of their profits over the last 15 years are from investment despite growing NEP like 150%
@acorn_capital@compoundpapi@deepvalueco Yeah, Iโll be buying after they start pulling ๐คฃ stocks gone nowhere for a year for good reason. And thatโs not fairfax specific, the market is not healthy from an earnings pov. Very healthy solvency wise which is a blessing and curse.
@acorn_capital@compoundpapi@deepvalueco Itโs been around here for years, if you want to bet on the direction of short rates insurance companies arenโt the best way to do it. Massively bullish seems a bit of an overstatement. If inflation rises thatโs to Iran war then it could turn into a bad thing but fairly minor
@acorn_capital@compoundpapi@deepvalueco Every insurance company can do this because they are all massively over capitalised. Iโd wait and see which ones do a good job. Fairfax has been good through the cycle not the best. Buying all these GI names essentially at the top imo
@MostlyMonkey Depending on the era its varies from not worth it to definitely not worth it, unless you entirely care about the brand. Aston Martins have not been made well for a everyone long time.
An uncomfortable amount of the economy is powered by men in their 40's working 60 hours a week to drop thousands of dollars on women two decades younger than they are
@MostlyMonkey Its like a circle jerk of goverment lending money to itself? Id argue this is much better and holds goverment more accountable than having unfunded liabilities that they can just pass on and pretend someone is going to pay in the future.

@BigBreakfastLob Hard to compare on hrs worked when germans are properly reporting and barely working 30hrs a week, then you see greeks are working the most in europe, italy is almost definitely under reporting etc
