Berkowitz Remains Bullish On Sears Holdings
Very interesting interview with Bruce Berkowitz on CNBC today. Bruce is the famous founder and manager of Fairholme Capital Management. The interview is mostly regarding the bets on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferreds, but he does confirm that the Sears Holdings (SHLD) investment thesis remains intact. He still sees a 10x increase in the value of Sears to match the value of the real estate holdings.
He makes some compelling statements regarding investing in Fannie and Freddie. Maybe we need to check those out considering some our investments match his. Instead of American Int'l Group (AIG), we chose to invest in Hartford Financial (HIG) and Lincoln Financial (LNC) to obtain exposure to insurers trading under book value. After all, investing in stocks trading below the long-term value is a core position of Stone Fox Capital.
Disclosure: Long HIG, LNC, and SHLD. Please review the disclaimer page for more details.
