Why investors should avoid Buffett's latest investment

Insurance stocks may not capture a lot of attention, but they will definitely make headlines when Warren Buffett invests in one. That's what happened when it was revealed Buffett took a $6.7 billion stake in insurance company Chubb (CB). In the latest edition of Good Buy or Goodbye, Barron's Associate Editor Al Root makes the case for skipping Chubb and investing in a different insurance stock instead.
Root says American International Group, better known as AIG, is worth consideration. There are a few reasons why. First, it has an attractive valuation, he says. Root also argues the business's fundamentals are improving and that CEO Peter Zaffino is in a "sweet spot" given where he is in his tenure at the company.
Root is less enthusiastic about Chubb. The stock isn't cheap following the "Buffett bump," he says, also noting that Buffett operates on a different time horizon than most. He also argues there isn't a lot of expected profit improvement. What could change his thesis on Chubb? The company's execution is better than expected, causing profit to grow or it gets bought by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B, BRK-A).
