The article’s comments on Markel aren’t entirely accurate. Markel reported net income of $21 million for the quarter. The comprehensive income/(loss) figure quoted in the article is the $33 million loss. The difference between the net income and the comprehensive net income is mostly changes in unrealized gains.
In financial parlance, it would be more common to refer to the $21 million as their income for the quarter, not the negative $33 million. Every other press release related to Markel’s quarter reflects the $21 million. It’s fairly unusual for the financial press to report comprehensive net income.
