Thanks. Markel is mostly out of the question for me as I already own sizable chunks of TRV and BRK, both insurance stocks. MKL is interesting.

Normally, I rely on my gut.

Markel Reports First Quarter 2016 Results (5/03/16)

RICHMOND, Va., May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Markel Corporation (NYSE: MKL) reported book value per common share outstanding of $589.86 at March 31, 2016, up 5% from $561.23 at December 31, 2015. Comprehensive income to shareholders was $397.0 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $281.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. The combined ratio was 88% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 83% for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the combined ratio for the first quarter of 2016 was driven by less favorable development of prior years' loss reserves and a higher expense ratio, partially offset by a lower current accident year loss ratio compared to the first quarter of 2015. Diluted net income per share was $11.15 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to $13.49 for the first quarter of 2015.

Alan I. Kirshner, Executive Chairman, commented, "2016 is off to a strong start with solid contributions from our underwriting, investing and Markel Ventures operations. Our growth in book value per share for the quarter reflects significant returns from our investment portfolio and our long-term focus on underwriting discipline. We are well-positioned to continue to build shareholder value and to take advantage of profitable growth opportunities as they arise."

The Company also announced today it has filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
