HP,
I understand that owners are willing to lose money and have said so. It's a matter of degree. An owner might be willing to lose "x" to have the enjoyment of ownership, but when his losses start exceeding "Y" some will reconsider. I'd be willing to guess we may be at "Z" these days.
I would only be interested in companies that are writing insurance in lines of business where losses have been high and capital is leaving.
When you say insurance IPOs, I don't know if you are referring to those in the line of insurance we are discussing or in general. However, if there have been a lot of IPOs in a particular line, I wouldn't want to get involved because almost by definition that means new capital is heading in that direction and will thus depress insurance prices and business returns in the near future. Also, typcially IPOs occur when the prices for the securities within the industry are high.
I am a value guy. I like to buy companies at cyclically depressed bottoms when others are leaving and new players aren't entering. THat's the way Warren enters and exits insurance and his theory has served me well also.
