Sunday, December 23, 2012, 8:48 AM Markel's (MKL) 11% dive following the Alterra (ALTE) acquisition announcement allows investors to buy into the brilliantly performing insurer at book value, writes The Brooklyn Investor.

Wednesday, June 8, 2011, 10:51 AM As higher insurance rates after Hurricane Katrina led to the creation of many reinsurers, so today bets are increasing on reinsurance after Japan's March earthquake - though this time with fewer new carriers being set up.
