It used to pay a stock dividend, but now pays cash, which he likes. Feels that it has $4-$5 upside. The system that he uses, he is always looking at a minimum of 100% upside, often 200%-400%, so he wouldn’t buy it at this point in time. For people looking for smaller gains and a nice dividend, he could see why they would do it. Good management. Good financials and they are doing very, very well.
(A Top Pick April 5/10. Up 36.02%.) Target price of $18+. Were losing money during the recession but have come back. 2.2% stock dividend. You have to remain wary of US banks because a lot of them can have a blowout at any time.
(A Top Pick April 5/10. Up 31.77%.) Smaller bank in Atlanta. Can still see more than a double. Pays a 2.2% stock dividend with a possibility of a cash dividend in the next year.
A small local bank that he bought. Has had about a double out of it so far. It used to give a stock dividend but now it gives a cash dividend. Can see this one doubling from this point. Beautifully run bank. Good balance sheet. Capitalization ratio is good.
Paid $3.36 for this, and has a target price of $18.74. When he bought this, it paid a stock dividend. Now they are paying a share dividend, and it wouldn’t surprise him if this increases.
This has done really well. He paid $3 and change and it is now at almost $16. Has this targeted at better than $18. Thinks it has further upside, although more muted. He would love someone to come in and take this one out.
Sold his holdings at about $18.74. At this price it is pretty fairly valued. If the market keeps on tanking, this potentially has a long way to go down because it had gone up such a long way.
This just got acquired and he made out like a bandit on this one. He paid about $4 and sold out at $21. The only play left is an arbitrage, which he has no strategy for on this.
