Selling Direct Line After A Bumpy 3-Year Investment

  • When I invested in Direct Line in 2022, I thought it looked like an attractive turnaround and I still think I was right. This investment was a bumpy ride to nowhere, and it's one of the main reasons why I no longer invest in turnarounds. Direct Line's equity, assets, earnings and dividends have all gone nowhere over the last ten years, giving the business a negative overall growth rate.
