OT - John, what do you find attractive about COF?

I was unfamiliar with it. I took a quick look and it seemed to be a S&L bank trading at Price/Book = 5.69, which is much higher than the industry average of 1.89 for S&L's.

I assume there's something more to the story than just that. Does its credit card operation somehow merit a much higher multiple than an S&L?

Just trying to figure it out.

BTW, hope you enjoy your boat. Congrats on the profits.
