What are your thoughts? i think Mr. Market is giving this company away at a reasonable price now. Hi Gumshoe,

what do you think of MKL at these prices, i picked some up at 376.00, if i had more money i would be buying more as we speak. What are your thoughts? i think Mr. Market is giving this company away at a reasonable price now.

All depends how you look at it -- Berkshire Hathaway is a $200 billion company, so Markel could expand 50-fold before catching up. $4 billion is big by many standards, but certainly not huge.

Given MKL is already $4 billion, isn't it kind of late to jump in if one really thought it was the next BRK? I wish they were a little more transparent about their investment portfolio.

This has been a Fool favorite for several years, from $200 to $500 and back down to $400, more or less. I still own shares of Markel, though I'll probably wait for a bit more of a dip before adding to my position -- I would hesitate to call them a hedge fund, they just have a good value investing philosophy and cheap access to cash from their float, though they've not been as aggressive at snapping up whole companies as Berkshire has of late, this is more like early Berkshire, buying shares of steady public companies. We'll see if they grow and look like Berkshire in 20 years and start buying whole operating companies like Buffett has. Altucher has also speculated that MKL would be an interesting acquisition target for BRK, though I have not heard any actual rumblings about that otherwise and Berkshire generally doesn't buy out public companies because they prefer not to engage in bidding wars or pay a big premium.
