It's very difficult to analzye a company like this from a earnings/revenue/growth perspective. They have a large securities portfolio, and they are also rich in assets which may not be appreciated on the balance sheet. There may be a lot of value that is difficult to quantify. Plus...what value do you place on the jockey(Joe Steinberg and Ian Cumming) versus the horse(the business)? In my opinion, the jockey is worth a bunch...as is Buffett with Berkshire, and Lampert with Sears Holdings. So in essence, this is a 'jockey' play as much as anything else. When I first bought my shares, this was a 4 billion dollar company. It is now approaching 12 billion market cap.

Is there a possibility you could write or add to your existing Position Excel files the capability to enter in the newest sticker price of a stock a person owns and how much you wish to add to that position. The answer would show the new total of shares and new average price. It would be a "What If' scenario. Thanks Chris. Rich Hi Chris,

I was wondering why do you prefer the use of the 40 MA (instead of 50 or 30 , as in the 10-30). Thanks. HI Chris, welcome back.
