As long as we're making garbage insurance picks, mine is Reliance. Haven't bought it yet, but I think the price is about right. $8 or 9 of book value, they've taken a big writedown already, and it trades at 4 3/4. It seems to be hanging in there at this price after a panic selloff. Maybe everybody who was going to sell already has. Any thoughts? What's stopping me from buying it? 30% of my portfolio is already in insurance between Ambac and Berkshire.
