I usually avoid holding company stocks, especially as one diversified as KOR. However, the Wall Street Journal repots their price-to-book ratio as .25 and therefore may be to attractive to pass up. Do you know if they pay any dividend? Also has there been any discussion of breaking the company up. I am sure the pieces of this company are worth more than the whole. I believe another holding company in Israel recently broke up into 3 pieces and the stock shot up but cannot recall the name. I learned of that breakup too late.

I have also tended to focus on Israeli hi-tech companies because they are very export dependant and therefore any internal problems should not effect he fundamental of these companies. I am waiting to see if the Netanhu government keeps its promise to reform the socialist bureaucracy before I want to more heavily invest in companies dependant on the internal Israeli market.
