Enterprising Investor Forum

Perspectives from Merkel (Berkshire-Style) Thursday, August 30, 2007

For those of you who have never heard of Markel, it markets and underwrites specialty insurance and programs to a variety of niche markets. However, more importantly for us, it has a strong investment side of the business that is modeled on Berkshire Hathaway.

We recently came across this interesting interview with Tom Gayner who runs the asset management side of the business. He is a Buffett disciple and is a seasoned investor who always has an interesting take on markets and investments.
