Investment firm Leucadia just bought more of what they already own: Mueller Industries Inc., Jefferies Group Inc., Intl FCStone Inc. Leucadia is run by its chairman Ian Cumming and president Joe Steinberg. The firm has great long term track record of buying distressed companies, then wait, until they can sell them at much higher prices.

During the third quarter the firm bought a lot of Jefferies, as the company stock prices collapsed in the wake of the bankruptcy of MF Capital. We have also reported that they have been buying more shares as recent as two weeks ago.

As of 09/30/2011, Leucadia National owns 5 stocks with a total value of $1.1 billion. These are the details of the buys and sells.
