TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This is an investment banking and capital markets company that directly invests in businesses in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It is trading at only 54% of book value. Its PE is only 75% of its earnings growth. These two factors make this a very undervalued company. Plus it pays a solid dividend with only a 40% payout ratio. We would buy this with a stop-loss at $14 looking for an upward target of $21.50 -- a 21% upside. Yield 3.42% (Analysts’ price target is $21.50)
