Odey short continues to be reduced. Must have cost him a lot given the dividends he has had to finance while running such a large position.

Projected track for Dorian has turned north. Florida landfall no longer anticipated, maybe no US landfall at all.

Significant exposure to Hurricane Dorian here. Should be an interesting weekend.

My experiences of other companies conference calls was to expect some reasonably positive info..... Never too old to learn...

Let's be Frank... Unjustified recent rally? The following paragraph from their recent final results is a concern: "While reserves have been recorded, UNCERTAINTY exists on the EVENTUAL ULTIMATE LOSSES in relation to the hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and wildfires as loss information after these types of events can take some time to obtain. The Group's reserve estimates for these natural catastrophe events were derived from a combination of market data and ASSUMPTIONS, a limited number of provisional loss advices, limited client loss data and modelled loss projections. As additional information emerges, the Group's ACTUAL ULTIMATE LOSS MAY VARY, PERHAPS MATERIALLY, from the current reported reserves."

It’s actually the route to strong returns.

Yesterday it was +3.3% but on disappointing volume of 289k; in which case I never know whether the price move has much significance. Today it's +7.1% on MUCH better volume; about 1.8m per the LSE site.

[deadly] 14/2/2019 11:36

Decent results and better than expected? Up 5% so far today.
