    Buy high, sell low. Interesting that “after” having their asses handed to them on energy investments they seem to be selling out of such investments. Usually better off not selling at depressed prices. Maybe they should double down.

      Dave, didn’t they have some investments in Venezuela a while back? How did that work out for them?

    If not for energy investments, LM’s results would be better.

    Previously:

    If not for Venezuelan business, LMs results would be better.

    Are we now able to conclude:

    If not for LM’s various ways of doing business under current leadership, LM’s results would be better…. ?

      Yogi, I used to think Liberty Mutual was pretty sharp in their decision making and growth was steady. Perhaps they made a bad hire and put him in charge of investments and he managed to sell the board on the idea of Venezuela’s potential. Perhaps they should have waited until the revolution was over and the country changed hands. I understand Venezuela has re-invented the hot dog and dachshunds have all but disappeared.
